Occurrence of neoclassical facial canons in Caucasian primary school pupils and university students.
BACKGROUND
The study concentrates on nine neoclassical facial references, canons.


METHODS
These neoclassical canons are studied and compared in two groups of young Caucasian population as follows: 160 students were studied, namely 60 primary school boys at the age of seven and 100 young men at the age ranging from 22 to 25 studying at the Comenius University and Slovak Technical University in Bratislava. The following anthropometric parameters were measured: ten heights, five widths, and two angles.


CONCLUSIONS
Some of neoclassical canons have not appeared in our measured group at all. Other canons although present, were present less frequently then their variations. Comparisons with literature are discussed (Tab. 9, Fig. 9, Ref. 7). Full Text (Free, PDF) www.bmj.sk.
