Abstrakt: An indirect anthropometric study was conducted to find out whether neoclassical facial canons could be applied to the population of Brazilian white young adults. The study was based on standardized facial photographs of 689 women and 666 men aged 30 years ± 6 months. The findings were compared to those observed for the North American Caucasian population. The frequency of 5 canons was assessed: facial thirds; interorbital width; nose and eye widths; mouth and nose widths; and face and nose widths. The assessed population showed the following ratios: tr-n > n-sn (96.01%), n-sn < sn-gn (95.90%), tr-n = sn-gn (42.06%), en-en < al-al (58.08%), en-en < ec-en (59.92%), ch-ch = 1½ al-al (52.61%), and al-al = 1/4 zy-zy (56.67%). When compared to North American Caucasians, only tr-n/n-sn and n-sn/sn-gn were identical. In conclusion, neoclassical facial canons cannot be applied to the Brazilian population, but they could serve as parameters for application in clinical practice and in forensic sciences.
