Abstract

Objective: To identify and classify the facial shapes of students of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City based on standardized facial images and to evaluate the associated anthropometric characteristics. Subjects and Methods: The study was conducted on 400 students (200 males, 200 females). Facial images were captured under standardized conditions and analyzed based on anthropometric parameters such as bizygomatic width (Zy-Zy), bigonial width (Go-Go), and forehead width (Ft-Ft) to determine facial shape classification. Results: The oval face shape was the most prevalent in both males (45%), females (55%), and the total sample (50%). The square face shape was more common in males (35%) than in females (30%). The triangular face shape was the least frequent (17.5%). Significant statistical differences were observed among facial shapes in the Zy-Zy, Go-Go, and Ft-Ft measurements. Conclusion: The oval face shape was the most common, followed by the square face shape, while the triangular face shape was the least common. Only three anthropometric indices, Zy-Zy, Go-Go, and Ft-Ft, exhibited statistically significant differences among the facial shapes. At the same time, other transverse dimensions showed no significant variation between the three face types.
