Abstract
Anthropometry is the numeric assessment of body segments for specific reasons. The present study is aimed at specifying the nose type and pattern of Ekowe indigenes in Bayelsa State of Nigeria. A total of 300 subjects were recruited for this study with sex difference of 179 males and 121 females. The measured parameters include nasal breadth, nasal height and nasal index. The results showed mean values of nasal breadth as 4.87±0.42 and 4.62±0.42 for males and females. Nasal height values are 4.43±0.37 and 4.13±0.40 for male and female. Nasal index for males and females are 110.64±12.52 and 112.89±14.43. Sexual dimorphism exits amongst the measured parameters and there was statistical significant difference for nasal breadth and height (p<0.05). With reference to nose classification by Martin and Sallar, 1957; the males and females of Ekowe indigenes possess platyrrhine (broad and short) nose shape.
