Sexual differences in palmprints in a population of Buengkan province, Thailand: Sexual differences in palmprints

Abstract

The goal of this study was to determine sexual differences in palmprint in a population of Buengkan province, Thailand. This study was based on data from palmprints of 70 adult men and women, aged 15–25 years. Palmprint patterns were assessed for three different areas (interdigital, hypothenar and thenar) for all palmprints of each subject. Nineteen palmprint patterns were assessed for this population, which included Waterfall left & right, Clean delta, snow cone & side cone, Various delta, Recurves in interdigital, Loop, Half-moon, Long-short, Vestige, Long & short square nose loop, Flip area, Funnel area & down & out, Belly-out, Carpal delta (12 o'clock) & hump, Outward nose loop, 1 delta, Outward nose loop, 2 delta, Inward nose loop, Mix hypothenar, Delta shift and High carpal delta. It was obvious that Flip area was observed for male in both left palm and right palm but was not found in female. On the other hand, Long & short square nose loop and Belly-out were noted for female in both left palm and right palm.
