Abstract :

Methods: A total of Hundred subjects were recruited for this study with age range of 20–35 years. The method applied for measurement was using sliding caliper. The measurements in this study include. NASAL HEIGHT which is measured from the nasion to subnasale,NASAL WIDTH measured at 90 degree angle to the nasal height from ala to ala. NASAL INDEX has been calculated as: Nasal width NW/ Nasal length NH times 100=NW/NH×100. Results: The results showed statistical significant difference between the two genders with the p value of p<0.001. All the three parameters values i.e, nasal height, nasal width and nasal index were found to be higher in males than in females. Conclusion: The present study provides the data on nasal parameters which include nasal height, nasal width and nasal index which will be relevant in physical anthropology. Hence in future the study requires larger sample size to get a accurate value and this result is recommended to forensic experts as a tool for identification of persons in the wide range of uncertain human deaths.
