Introduction:Anthropometric studies are scientificstudies which are important in forensic medicine and archeology to differentiate a true race from the local mixing of races. The identification of an individual’s race is an essential component in forensic identification and reconstructive surgery.The shape of the face has always been an interesting topic for anatomists, anthropologists, plastic surgeons, and artists. Materials and methods: The present study aims at measuringthe craniofacial parameters in the medical students of Doda, Jammu and Kashmir. The studywas conducted on 200 medical students (100 males and 100 females), aged 16-27 years. The parameters measured were morphological facial height and facial width. A standard vernier caliper was used for measuring the parameters.Result: The average facial height in males and females observed in the study was 124.18 ± 4.61 and 113.41 ± 5.79. The average facial width was 106.41± 8.08 and 91.41± 5.72 in males and females respectively. The total facial indexwas found out to be 126.26 ± 8.80 and 116.71 ± 7.28 in males and females respectively. Conclusion:The dominant phenotype in the studied population was hyperleptoprosopic. The obtained data can be useful in forensic studies, genetic research for identifying the races, anthropological research and in clinical practice.
