Introduction: In anthropometry, the face index is useful for determining facial proportion. The face archetype serves as a guide for the development of the craniofacial complex. The Indian population has a Mesoprosopic facial index, which is intermediate between Hypereuroprosopic and Hyperleptoprosopic. Because the Euryprosopic face type supports nasal breathing, the facial index and facial types are strong predictors in obstructive sleep apnea. The current study examines the differences in facial attributes among Hindus, Muslims, and Christians in the Sangli district.
The goal of this study was to evaluate and compare gender differences in face index among Hindu, Muslim, and Christian Sangli district residents. To determine the preponderance of face types in Hindu, Muslim, and Christian religions among Sangli district residents using the facial index.
Materials and Methods: The current study was conducted on Hindu Muslim and Christian religious population (240 people) from 10 talukas of Sangli district in the age bracket of 18 to 40 years after receiving ethical approval from the Institutional Ethical Committee. Each study participant signed an informed written consent form. With the head in the Frankfurt horizontal plane, facial height and breadth were measured in millimetres with reference to anatomical landmarks. (Facial height x facial breadth) x100 was used to create the Facial Index. According to Martin and Saller, facial forms were categorised based on the Facial Index. The data was statistically evaluated to see if there was a difference in religion and gender.
Observation: The Hindu, Muslim, and Christian populations of Sangli district have statistically significant differences in facial height, breadth, and index measurements.
Muslim women have a higher average facial height (106.99 8.43) than Hindu women (103.73 8.67) and Christian women (102.58 9.60).
Christian (116.70 7.89) has a higher mean value of facial breadth than Hindu (115.47 7.57) and Muslim (113.42 7.80).
Muslim women have a higher mean face index (94.63 8.41) than Hindu women (90.19 9.26) and Christian women (88.02 7.34). In all three religions of Sangli district, Hyperleptoprosopic (Very Long Face) was the most common facial shape, followed by Mesoprosopic (Broad Face). Leptoprosopic (Long Face) was the least prevalent face type among Hindus, whereas Hypereuroprosopic was the least common among Muslims and Christians (Very Broad Face). Hyperleptoprosopic was the most prevalent face form in Hindu men, followed by Mesoprosopic, whereas Mesoprosopic was the most common form in Hindu women, followed by Euryprosopic. Hypereuroprosopic was the least prevalent face type in males, whereas Leptoprosopic was the least common in females. Hyperleptoprosopic was the most common facial type in Muslim males and females. Mesoprosopic comes next. Hypereuroprosopic was the least prevalent facial type in both males and females. Hyperleptoprosopic was the most prevalent face form in male Christians, followed by Mesoprosopic, whereas Euryprosopic was the most common form in female Christians, followed by Mesoprosopic. Hypereuroprosopic was the least prevalent face type in males, whereas Leptoprosopic was the least common in females.
Conclusion: In the Sangli district, males of Hindu, Muslim, and Christian religions and Muslim females have Hyperleptoprosopic facial forms, whereas Hindu females have Mesoprosopic facial forms and Christian females have Euryprosopic facial forms. The results can be used as local standards for diagnostic and anthropometric evaluation and can be utilised as standards for the Sangli district population group. Anthropology, genetics, and forensic medicine will all benefit from the findings of this study.Author(S) Details
