Abstract

Background: In this study, the purpose was to obtain normal anthropometric data of the nose, and to determine the changes in age and gender.
Materials and Methods: For this purpose, the nose anthropometric measurements were made with a caliper in 874 healthy individuals who were between the ages of 5 and 64, and the nose types were de-termined for adults. The individuals were divided into 8 groups as 5-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, 14-15, 16-17, 18-40, and 41-64-year-old. The nasal length, nasal height, morphological nasal width, anatomical nasal width, nasal root width, nasal depth, lengths, nostril widths, face width, and face heights of the individu-als were measured; and the external nasal surface area, nasal volume, nasal index, nasofacial index, and nose-face width index were calculated. According to Martin and Sallar, the types of noses were classified in adults. The SPSS 20.0 Program was used for the statistical analysis of the data.
Results: The most common type of nose was determined to be Mesorrhine. Statistically significant differ-ences were detected between the genders in all measurements except nasal depth. Statistically signifi-cant differences were detected in all groups in terms of all length and height measurements, morphologi-cal and anatomical nasal width values, external nasal surface areas, and nasal volume and indices.
Conclusions: It is expected that detailed data about age-sex-related nose morphometry in our study will contribute to the creation of a database of our population. It is thought that these detailed data will be helpful in the determination of age and gender in forensic medicine, the reconstruction studies in anthro-pology, and the treatment plan and post-surgery evaluation to surgeons.

Burun Antropometrik Ölçümleri ve Burun Tipleri

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada; burun ile ilgili normal antropometrik verilerin elde edilmesi, yaş ve cinsiyet ile ilgili değişikliklerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Materyal ve metod: Bu amaç doğrultusunda 5-64 yaş arası 874 sağlıklı bireyde kaliper ile burun antropometrik ölçümleri yapılmıştır ve yetişkinlerde burun tipleri belirlenmiştir. Bireyler yaşlarına göre 5-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, 14-15, 16-17, 18-40, 41-64 yaş olmak üzere 8 gruba ayrılmıştır. Bireylerde nazal uzunluk, nazal yükseklik, morfolojik nazal genişlik, anatomik nazal genişlik, nazal kök genişliği, nazal derinlik, nostril uzunlukları ve genişlikleri, yüz genişliği ve yüz yüksekliği ölçülmüş; eksternal burun yüzey alanı, nazal hacim, nazal indeks, nazofasiyal indeks ve burun-yüz genişlik indeksi hesaplanmıştır. Yetişkinlerde Martin ve Sallar’a göre burun tipleri sınıflandırılmıştır Verilerin istatistiksel analizi için SPSS 20.0 programı kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: En çok görülen burun tipi mesorrhine olarak belirlenmiştir. Nazal derinlik hariç tüm ölçümlerde cinsiyetler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede farklılık görülmüştür. Tüm uzunluk ve yükseklik ölçümleri ile morfolojik ve anatomik nazal genişlik değerleri, eksternal burun yüzey alanı, nazal hacim ve indekslerin hepsinde tüm gruplarda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede farklılık görülmüştür.
Sonuç: Burun ile ilgili yaşa ve cinsiyete bağlı olarak elde edilen bu verilerin literatüre katkı sağlayacağı, burun ve yüz bölgesi ile ilgili cerrahi işlemlerde, adli tıp ve antropoloji çalışmalarında yol gösterici olacağı düşünülmektedir.
