The aim of this study was to determine the craniofacial parameters in the
population of the central part of Serbia. The research was conducted on 700
persons (360 males and 340 females), aged 18-65 years, selected randomly. The
measured parameters were morphological facial height and breadth. The
standard spreading caliper with scale was used for the measurement of facial
parameters. There were significant differences in the facial parameters of
male compared to female subjects in all observed parameters. The mean value
of the morphological facial height in the study population was 116.8 mm ±
7.28, maximum facial breadth 124.12 mm ± 8.44, while the mean value of the
total facial index was 93.68 ± 6.86. The total facial index was calculated
according to the formula and the obtained results were analyzed statistically
using the t-test. The dominant phenotype in the studied population was
leptoprosopic. The data obtained in our study may be useful in
anthropological research, forensics, genetic research, as well as in medical
clinical practice.
