Male facial index - a summary

This post will updated with more information, so those who are interested may want to check back for further updates in this post.


88.0 - 92.9 = leptoprosopic (long-/narrow-faced)
93.0 - = hyperleptoprosopic (very long-/narrow-faced)


Combined percetages of lepto and hyperleptoprosopics (long/very long/narrow faced induviduals)

Early conclusions - The least amount of narrow/long-faced induviduals are found in eastern Savo (which seems to form a belt of broad-facedness), but the areas differ greatly from Carelia and southwest-Savo for example. Nothing points to a steady decline of lepto and hyperleptoprosopics in the west -> east direction with parts of Satakunta, Häme and Finland proper falling out of the coastal "black belt" that reaches from Lake Ladoga to Ostrobothnia. According to this data, the absolutely most narrow/long-faced people were the Swedish speakers of Nyland. This text will be modified when more data is added and more thoughts will be added later.

Similar data for females and more updates on this post will follow later on. The data for Nyland had to be calculated from a frequency table since Löfgren's publication lacked any tables with percentages (only frequency percentages) so there may be minor errors in percentages for Nyland, but only minor.
