Overview

This research evaluates facial morphology in children by analyzing the effects of body mass index and age.

Key Points

  • The study reveals no significant link between body mass index and facial dimensions in non-obese children.
  • Using principal component analysis, results showed that BMI and age had no significant correlation with facial size (P = .209).
  • Geometric morphometric analysis on 113 children indicated that neither BMI nor age affected facial shape significantly.
  • Findings suggest that in younger children, BMI alone may not predict facial morphology effectively.
