A measurement published without a band
Midface ratio is easy to calculate and reproducible. We still print no reference range beside it, and that is deliberate.
What it compares
The distance from the pupil line down to the mouth, set against the distance between the pupils. Dividing by interpupillary distance is what makes the result independent of image size.
Why there is no reference band
A band is a claim about a population. We could not find a published range for this measurement taken from photographs that we were willing to stand behind, so the page states that it has no reference band rather than borrowing a number from somewhere else. Printing one anyway would be the easier thing to do and the less honest one.
Check the camera before reading a change
Head pitch moves this number more than it moves most of the others here. Looking slightly up or slightly down between two photographs is enough to shift it. Before treating a difference as a change in your face, check that the camera sat at the same height both times.
