Abstract
Objectives: To observe the sexual dimorphism among the young adult age group ranging from 18-21 years, of Kathmandu University students by measuring craniofacial circumference and canthal distances.
Rationale of the study: These data could be useful for establishing the craniofacial standards and adds an implementation on plastic surgery, crime detection as well as in the industrial field.
Method: 300 clinically normal students of Kathmandu University aged between 18-21 years were examined for the study. Fronto-occipital circumference, outer and inner canthal distances were measured. All the parameters were compared between males and females.
Result: The cranial circumference as well as the inner and outer canthal distance in males was found to be significantly higher as compared to the females.
Conclusion: The results concluded that sexual dimorphism remarkably exists in young adults of Kathmandu University students.
