Abstract:

Objective To study the head-face morphological characters of Ordos Mongolian. Method Reference to relevant provisions of Anthropometric methods, we measured 6 observation indexes and 20 measurement indexes of Head-face of Ordos Mongolian of 336 adults (142 males, 194 females) in Etuoke Banner of Ordos, and the averages of head-face indexes of 11 Mongolia groups were studied by cluster analysis. Results Ordos Mongolia had a high rate of Eyefold of the upper eyelid, and most of them had Mongoloid fold, most of their Nasal root height were middle. Zygomatic projection was projecting, Thickness of lips was thin, eye color was brown. Both males and females of Ordos Mongolian showed Brachycephaly, Mesocephaly, Hypsicephalic, Mesorrhiny. According to morphological facial index, male showed Euryprosopy type and female was Mesoprosopy. The results of cluster analysis of male and female showed that Head-face characteristic of Ordos Mongolian was close to Barags and Tuvas. Conclusion The Head-face characteristic of Ordos Mongolian belongs to the North Asian type of Mongoloid.
