Abstract.
The aim of the research was to study features, interdependence and age dynamics of cephalometric characteristics in men and women aged 17-24 years. The current study was approved by the committee of clinical researches ethics. The measurement of the parameters of the cranial and facial parts of the head in 250 youths aged 17-21 years, 150 men aged 22-24 years, 200 girls aged 17-20 years and 200 women aged 21-21 years was taken. The cephalometric evaluation was performed using the V.V. Bunak’s method in compliance with all demands and recommendations required for carrying out anthropometric researches. Anthropometric study consisted in the measurement of 21 parameters between the main points when positioning the head in the Frankfurt horizontal plane. The statistical analysis of the study results was made using the analytical package Statistica 8.0.
The regularities that indicate the debrachycephalization and juvenilization of the cranial part of the head in women aged 17-24 years were revealed. The peculiarities indicating the gracilization of the facial part of the head in women aged 17-24 were determined. The regularities that indicate the debrachycephalization of the cranial part of the head in the groups consisting of men aged 17-21 and 22-24 years were detected. The peculiarities indicating the gracilization of the facial part of the head in men aged 17-24 were determined. During the analysis of age dynamics there was no statistically significant decrease of the cranial and facial head region parameter values, this suggesting the absence of involutive changes of the head in men and women during the period from 17 to 24 years. Multiple correlations were detected which allow to assume the availability of interrelation and interdependence of the cranial and facial head structures as well as their connection with somatotypes.
Key words: cephalometry, head, face, debrachycephalization, juvenilization, gracilization.
