Abstract
Purpose: to compare the facial anthropometric measures in adults according to the breathing mode and genre.
Methods: the study sample comprised 82 adult subjects, aged 18 to 35 years old, 59 females and 23 males. From the speech pathology and otorhinolaryngologic assessments, 46 nasal breathers and 36 mouth breathers were diagnosed. The facial measures were achieved with a caliper and compared according to the subject's breathing mode diagnosis and genre, through the Student's t-test and Pearson's Correlation, with a significance level of 5%.
Results: the vertical anthropometric measures (middle third, lower third, facial height, upper lip and lower lip) were found to be significantly greater in mouth breathers and displayed positive correlation with the breathing mode. All facial measurements performed were found to be higher in males and showed positive correlation with the variable genre.
Conclusion: the facial anthropometric measures of vertical plane were found to be greater in mouth breathers, suggesting a more elongated facial pattern of growth in these subjects. All the facial anthropometric measures obtained in the vertical, horizontal and transverse planes were found to be higher in male subjects.

Resumo
Objetivo: comparar as medidas antropométricas faciais de adultos segundo o modo respiratório e o sexo.
Métodos: a amostra do estudo foi constituída por 82 sujeitos adultos, na faixa etária entre 18 e 35 anos, 59 do sexo feminino e 23 do sexo masculino. A partir das avaliações fonoaudiológica e otorrinolaringológica, foram diagnosticados 46 respiradores nasais e 36 respiradores orais. As medidas faciais foram obtidas com paquímetro e comparadas segundo diagnóstico do modo respiratório e sexo dos sujeitos, utilizando-se o teste t de Student e da Correlação de Pearson, com nível de significância de 5%.
Resultados: as medidas antropométricas verticais (terço médio, terço inferior, altura facial, lábio superior e lábio inferior) foram significantemente maiores nos respiradores orais e apresentaram correlação positiva com o modo respiratório. Todas as medidas faciais realizadas foram maiores no sexo masculino e mostraram correlação positiva com a variável sexo.
Conclusões: as medidas antropométricas faciais do plano vertical foram maiores nos respiradores orais, sugerindo padrão de crescimento facial mais alongado nesses sujeitos. Todas as medidas antropométricas faciais obtidas nos planos vertical, horizontal e transversal foram maiores nos sujeitos do sexo masculino.
