title: [Dermatoglyphics in the prognostication of constitutional and physical traits in humans].
abstract: The present study was designed to elucidate the relationship between palmar and digital dermatoglyphic patterns and descriptive signs of human appearance based on the results of comprehensive anthropometric examination of 2620 men and 380 women. A battery of different methods were used to statistically treat the results of dactyloscopic records. They demonstrated correlation between skin patterns and external body features that can be used to construct diagnostic models for the purpose of personality identification.
