Abstract: Objective:To research characteristics of the craniofacial soft tissue depth of the female  people of Tujia nationality.Methods:By means of the check of X-ray on 10 points from 5 parts on the sagittal plane of craniofacial soft tissue of 76 Tujia nationality female adults at random who came from the west part of Hunan Province,the data of depth of all points were studied in statistics.Results:The measured values were from (3.29±0.16) to (9.05±0.18)mm.By one-way anova analysis,the significant age and position difference existed in the thickness of craniofacial soft tissue.At the same time,it was different from the Han,Zhuang,Bai,Dai nationality,etc.Conclusions:The position and age difference in the depth of craniofacial soft tissue of Tujia nationality is significant.
