摘要：Craniofacial measurements are important for forensic medicine, plastic surgery, oral surgery anddiagnostic comparisons between patients and normal populations. It is also used to identify ethnic group. Thepurpose of the current paper was to compare craniofacial measurements between male and female universitystudents in Japan. The sample consisted of 1,215 and 832 male and female university students respectively. Thesample was selected from several universities in Tokyo and Kyoto from 1998 to 2001. The majority of theJapanese male (26.19%) and female (30.77%) students’ facial shapes were leptoprosopic (long face) with a meanprosopic index of 84.19 for males and 82.66 for females. Also, the majority of the Japanese males (43.09%) andfemales (35.34%) head sizes were brachycephalic (round headed) with a mean cephalic index of 85.96 for males and85.21 for females. All craniofacial measurements and indices of males were significantly higher than those offemale students.
