Abstract
The study recruited 250 Ikwo samples (males = 130, females = 120), after ethical approval gotten from University Research Committee and informed consents signed by the participants. Nasal length, width and indices were measured. Age and nasal indices appeared positively correlated but with weak R 2 Adjusted value (Age = 146 + 1.91 × Nasal indices, 35%). Also, sex and nasal indices were positive and very strong adjusted level (NI = 61+0.24 × Male and 61 + 0.084 × Female, and 82%). The mean nasal indices for both sexes in Ikwo population belong to platyrrhine nose classification, with predictive power that can be helpful in forensic science, craniofacial surgery, neurosurgery and developmental biology.
