Abstract
The authors conducted an anthropometry of the head and face and measurement of the dental arch on Chinese Hoklo (male 78, female 62) in 1978 and obtained the correlation between head-face and dental arch. Their age variation and traits were compared with those by Kutsuna and Arai (1943), Yang (1947) and Kanda (1974). The main results are as follows.
1) Anthropometry
The variation in age apparently showed in both male and female the head form became more brachycephalic and the facial form wider on the upper part and narrower on the lower part.
2) Correlation It seemed that the traits of Chinese Hoklo were as follows. For male any significant correlation was not found between bizygomatic breadth and upper dental arch breadth nor between bigonial breadth and lower dental arch breadth. But significant positive correlation was shown in the head length and lower dental arch breadth. In females, significant positive correlation was shown between bizygomatic breadth and upper dental arch breadth.
