Description

The human face is a canvas of cultural and geographical expression. It is a representation of nature, culture, history, and beliefs. From the shape and size of our eyes to the contours of our noses and lips, each human face has a unique combination of traits that may indicate a person's personality, culture, and origin. Asians have a wide range of anatomical features. The creation of the human body is shaped by the environment which comprises climate, geography, and resource availability. Over several centuries, people may adapt to the circumstances where they live. Various geographical factors influencing the human face are elevation, temperature, climate, and precipitation. This study determines the correlation of nasofacial features of female students from different parts of India. By taking the zoom-in photograph of a female student, the photographic analysis of the frontal profile of the student is analysed using the Rhinobase software. Further, the data wasanalysed using IBM SPSS Statistics 20 software. The correlation between the nasofacial parameters and elevation is examined using Pearson’s Correlation. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is calculated using R Software. The result shows a positive significant relationship between the nasofacial parameters (LFH, ULL, SM) (MFH, AL-AL, EN-EN, and X-X) (WD-WD and UFH).
