    Skeletal and dental measurements correlate with body size in both sexes. Tooth and bone dimensions show significant relationships with body weight and height, offering insights into human growth patterns.

    Area of Science:

    • Anthropometry
    • Human Growth and Development
    • Forensic Anthropology

    Background:

    • Understanding skeletal and dental correlations aids in reconstructing physical characteristics.
    • Previous research has explored relationships between various body measurements, but comprehensive analyses integrating dental, skeletal, and body metrics are ongoing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate correlations between dental dimensions, bone measurements (metacarpal, chin), and overall body size (weight, height).
    • To identify sex-specific relationships in these anthropometric correlations.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of anthropometric data from 118 males and 102 females at the Burlington Growth Centre.
    • Statistical correlation and partial correlation analyses were performed on measurements including mesiodistal tooth widths, metacarpal cortex thickness and width, chin depth, and body weight/height.

    Main Results:

    • In males, mandibular incisor and canine widths correlated with metacarpal cortex thickness and body weight.
    • Bone cortex thickness related to metacarpal width (males) and body weight (females).
    • Chin depth in males showed significant positive correlations with bone width and height, and negative correlations with tooth width when controlling for bone width or body weight. Bone width and length correlated with body height in both sexes.

    Conclusions:

    • Dental and skeletal dimensions exhibit significant correlations with body size metrics in both males and females.
    • These findings contribute to understanding the complex interplay of factors influencing human physical development and morphology.
