Anthropometric studies are integral part of craniofacial surgery and syndromology. Interpupillary distance has been defined as the distance between the centres of the pupil. Intercanthal distance is defined as the distance between the medial and /or lateral canthi of the palpebral fissures bilaterally. Inner canthal dimensions in young adult Ijaw males and females were 42±5 mm and 39 ±3 mm respectively and outer canthal dimensions were 111 ± 14 mm for males, and 120 ± 7 mm for females respectively. Canthal indices in the Ibibios are clearly different from other populations. The study among the Igbos revealed that ageing affects the rate of growth of the intercanthal distances. For the healthy urban Turkish subjects, there was significant increase in near and distant IPD measurements with age until 19 years in male subjects. In the Sudanese population, ICD was found to be greater in males than in females. No statistically significant difference exists in the inner canthal and interpupillary distances between both Egyptian boys and girls for the same mean age. In Saudi Arabian adults, mean ICD was 31.92mm. It has been demonstrated that genetics, environmental factors, gender and age results in variations of the considered parameters.

The use of anthropometric data for assessing nutritional status has been internationally accepted as a standard practice. Mid arm circumference and height are examples of such parameters used. The aim of this study is to compare and possibly establish a relationship between mid-arm circumference and height of children (3 to 5 years old) and evaluate them as a simple and reliable alternative for determining the nutritional status of children. Mid arm circumference and height of 195 randomly selected pupils consisting of 97 males and 98 females were measured and statistically compared with their means and standard deviations. There was a slight difference in the means of male and female subjects, though not statistically significant. The difference in mean heights of males and females compared across age groups showed marked significance. With a correlation coefficient of r=0.001 (P>0.01), there exists a positive correlation between the mid arm circumference and height of children 3 to 5 years. This can be used to determine the rate of growth as well as the nutritional status of children.
