Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, farklı ülkelerden genç yetişkinlerin palmar çizgilerini inceleyerek, cinsiyet ve ülke faktörlerinin palmar çizgiler üzerindeki potansiyel etkilerini değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Karabük Üniversitesi öğrencisi olan 18-30 yaş aralığında 7 farklı ülkeden (Ürdün, Sudan, Somali, İran, Irak, Tanzanya, Türkiye) 220 gönüllü birey (120 erkek, 100 kadın) dahil edildi. Bireylerin her iki elindeki palmar çizgiler ve orijin sayısına göre el tipi değerlendirmesi gerçekleştirildi. Palmar çizgilerin Total Degree of Transversality (T-DoT) değerleri hesaplandı. Her iki el için de palmar çizgi sınıflandırmaları ve T-DoT değerleri cinsiyetler ve ülkeler arasında kıyaslandı.
Bulgular: Çalışmada 220 kişiden 440 el analiz edilmiş ve 1 Simian, 8 Suwon ve 5 Sydney tipi el tespit edilirken, kalan 426 el normal tip olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Palmar crease orijin sayısı ile ilgili olarak, 3 elde tek orijin, 309 elde iki orijin ve 119 elde üç orijin olduğunu gözlemlendi. Bu çalışmada cinsiyetler ve ülkeler arasında palmar çizgi tipleri açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark tespit edilmese de palmar çizgi orijin sayıları açısından cinsiyetler ve ülkeler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişkiler saptandı. Ayrıca, sağ el T-DoT değerleri açısından cinsiyetler ve ülkeler arasında anlamlı farklıklar bulundu.
Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın örneklemin belirli ülkelerden seçilmesi ve örneklem büyüklüklerinin sınırlı olması sonuçların genelleştirilebilirliğini sınırlasa da elde edilen bu bulgular, palmar çizgiler konusunda ilerleyen aşamalarda daha derinlemesine araştırmalara temel oluşturacak olması bakımından önemlidir. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma hem palmar çizgi kökenlerinin sayısı hem de sağ el T-DoT değerleri bakımından ülkeler arasındaki farklılıkları vurgulamaktadır.

Evaluation of palmar creases of healthy young individuals of different countries

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the potential effects of gender and country factors on palmar creases by examining the palmar creases of young adults from various countries.
Materials and Methods: The study involved a total of 220 volunteers, including 120 males and 100 females aged 18-30, from seven different countries (Jordan, Sudan, Somalia, Iran, Iraq, Tanzania and Turkey), as well as students from Karabuk University. Hand types were evaluated based on palmar creases and the number of origins for both hands. Total Degree of Transversality (T-DoT) values for palmar creases were calculated. Classification of palmar creases and comparison of T-DoT values for both hands were performed between genders and countries.
Results: The study analyzed 440 hands from 220 individuals, identifying 1 Simian, 8 Suwon, and 5 Sydney-type hands, while categorizing the remaining 426 hands as normal type. Regarding the number of palmar crease origins, it was observed that there was a single origin in 3 hands, two origins in 309 hands and three origins in 119 hands. Significant associations were found between genders and countries in the number of palmar crease origins. In addition, significant differences in right hand T-DoT values were found between genders and countries.
Conclusion: In spite of limitations in sample selection and size, these results are important in providing a basis for future in-depth research on palmar creases at later stages, although generalizability to the specific countries represented in the sample may be limited. Consequently, this study highlights variations among countries concerning both the number of palm crease origins and right-hand T-DoT values.
