Sumario:PURPOSE: Knowledge of anthropometric measurements of the external ear is important as variations exist based on gender, age and ethnicity. This study has derived anthropometric data pertaining to the external ear in the Maharashtrian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Nine variables of the external ear were measured in 505 Maharashtrian adults (aged 18–64 years) using photoanthropometric methods. RESULTS: Descriptive data and the left-right symmetry for the study population were obtained. CONCLUSION: These data have applications in screening for or monitoring diseases, otoplastic surgery, forensics, industrial design, apparel design and ergonomics.
