种族群体之间颅面解剖结构的差异已被记录在各种结构中，但口腔和颌面部区域已被证明是不同种族/民族群体之间变异性的特别定义区域。这样的比较是信息丰富的，但他们既不解决颅面解剖学的发展变化，也没有评估或考虑到自然变异的个别种族，可能会导致类似的报告，跨组的变化。本报告的目的是使用医学影像学研究比较所有人种[白色、亚洲人、黑人和西班牙裔（AR）]与仅单一人种[白色（WR）]在口腔和咽部区域中选择的人种敏感颅面变量的增长趋势。通过比较AR与WR数据的性别特异性生长拟合（四次多项式模型）来检验种族效应。研究结果表明，包括所有种族与单一种族没有显着改变生长模型拟合。因此，包括所有种族允许一般增长模型的进步;然而，从方法上讲，最好在所有未来分析中将种族变量作为协变量，以测试潜在的所有种族效应或个体种族效应。临床解剖学22：800-808，2009。(C)2009 Wiley-Liss，Inc.
Differences in craniofacial anatomy among racial groups have been documented in a variety of structures, but the oral and maxillofacial regions have been shown to be a particularly defining region of variability between different racial/ethnic groups. Such comparisons are informative, but they neither address developmental changes of the craniofacial anatomy nor do they assess or take into account the natural variability within individual races that may account for similar reported, across-group variations. The purpose of this report was to compare-using medical imaging studies-the growth trend of select race-sensitive craniofacial variables in the oral and pharyngeal regions when all races [White, Asian, Black, and Hispanic (AR)] are included versus only a single race category [White (WR)]. Race effect was tested by comparing sex-specific growth fits (fourth degree polynomial model) for AR versus WR data. Findings indicate that the inclusion of all races versus a single race did not significantly alter the growth model fits. Thus, the inclusion of all races permits the advancement of general growth models; however, methodologically, it is best to treat the race variable as a covariate in all future analysis to test for both potential all race effects or individual race effects, on general growth models.
