What is it about?
The aim of this study was to research the relationships between set of body variables and set of cephalofacial variables, using statistical method of canonical analysis.

Why is it important?
Results obtained from the canonical analysis indicate the answers to questions concerning the ways in which the two sets of measured variables are related, as well as the strength and nature of the relationships defined between them. Explaining of the nature of whatever relationships that exist between the sets of body and cephalofacial variables, can be achieved by measuring the relative contribution of each variable to the canonical functions (roots) that are extracted.
Perspectives
Reduction of the multiple measured manifest variables, of two sets, in a small number of canonical roots may facilitate the work of the physical anthropologists in studying and explaining the genetic development of the bones, cartilages and soft tissues of the head and the body, as well as their morphological construction.
