The anatomical structures of the head and face are determined by genetical factors and they are important indicators in the field of anthropology. But it is known that they could be influenced by environmental factors such as diet, conditions of nutrition, behavior and so on. In Korea, there have been many changes in the diet pattem since 1970s that anatomical structures of the body have been changed. But there was no anthropolygic studies on the facial features in Korean youth. Therefore in this study we have undertaken to determine the head and facial measurements of the 220 male middle school students free from systemic and ocular diseases or abnormalies. The results are as follows. The head height of the youth is similar with the adult, but other head measurements are smaller than those of adult. The face width and the face height of the youth are smaller than those of the adult and the partial ratio of the subnasale-gnathion measurement on the face height is significant smaller than that of adult. In the face of youth head width, head length, face width and bitragion breadth are correlated weakly with the height and the subnasale-gnthion is correlated with the height significantly.
