Abstract: Objective：To research characteristics of the craniofacial soft tissue depth of Chinese Tujia nationality  grown  men.Methods:By means of the check of X-ray on 10 points from 5 parts on the sagittal plane of craniofacial soft tissue of 80 Tujia nationality grown men at random who came from the west part of Hunan Province,the data of depth of all points were studied in statistics.Results：The greatest depth was in the 40～49 age group in all 10 points and the measured values were from (3.46±0.09) to (9.11±0.14)mm.By one-way anova analysis the significant age difference existed in the same point’s thickness of craniofacial soft tissue,and the significant position difference  existed in the same age group’s thickness of craniofacial soft tissue.Conclusions:There exist position and age difference in the depth of craniofacial soft tissue of Tujia nationality grown men.
