Abstract

Background: All human faces are unique and contribute to individual identity. The face is oneof the most fundamental parts of the body for self-recognition. Objectives: To measure the facialgolden ratio (FGR) and facial appearance (FA) of medical students of Jouf University, SaudiArabia.
 Methodology: This is a cross sectional study, facial height (FH) and facial width (FW)of each participant were measured by digital verniercalliper. All measurements were done bytwo researchers, if the measurements are equal or nearby, then mean value are considered andassessment of facial awareness are done by a validated structured questionnaire. Data analysiswas carried out using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 23 (SPSS Inc., Chicago,IL, USA).
 Results: Mean FGR value of the males and females are 1.64 and 1.55 respectively.This study revealed highly significant disparities among genders. The male participant has closeresembles with FGR in comparison to females. There was no significant difference betweenupper FH (57.74), Middle FH (55.16) and Lower FH (56.65) among Saudi, Jordan and Syrianparticipant. The females were significantly more satisfied with their eyelids and eyes than males,and their significant different was p=0.014 and 0.002, respectively.
 Conclusions: Majoritypopulation, both male and female having a normal face and satisfied with their face’s variables.The male participant has close resembles with the FGR.

Summary

Introduction

Facial type and morphology assessment is indispensable for the planning and recognition of anthropometric measurement of the face.[1] The FGR is a mathematical ratio found by dividing the line into two parts so that the longer part divided by, the smaller part. Methodology: This is a cross sectional study, facial height (FH) and facial width (FW) of each participant were measured by digital verniercalliper. Results: Mean FGR value of the males and females are 1.64 and 1.55 respectively. The male participant has close resembles with FGR in comparison to females. The females were significantly more satisfied with their eyelids and eyes than males, and their significant different was p=0.014 and 0.002, respectively. Conclusions: Majority population, both male and female having a normal face and satisfied with their face’s variables. The male participant has close resembles with the FGR
