Abstract
The evaluation included 60 photographs of the faces of women, average age 17.9 years. En face images were made with the camera lens situated at the same distance from the photographed subjects. Using Adobe Photoshop software, midsaggital and even anthropometric points were determined in the photographs and then the distance between these points was measured. Four relationships between vertical measurements, 3 between horizontal measurements, and 4 proportions between vertical and horizontal measurements were calculated. The results were evaluated in comparison with the golden ratio (1.618) and the measurements performed for native Americans and Latin American beauty contests winners described in the relevant literature. The result for the average vertical face proportion value of the examined women was close to the golden ratio (GR) and amounted to 1.592 for the proportions between nasion-stomion and stomion-gnation (98% of GR) and 1.372 for nasion-subnasale and subnasale-gnation (85% of GR).Average measurement results for young Polish women's faces were not statistically significantly different for 6 out of 11 relationships under evaluation as compared with the population of native American females and only 2 face proportions were the same as for beauty contests winners from Latin America. Face proportions of young Polish women were different from those of the females living in the American continent.
