What Your Chin Can Say About Your Health
“Our chins can tell us something about our childhood,” thought the scientists who organized the study. They checked about 6,600 teenagers aged from 12 to 17 and were right.
Clamotion will tell you how childhood affects the shape of your chin and jaw.
The bulging chin (prognathism)
People with a protruding lower jaw can boast of good muscles and a strong skeleton, but they’re also prone to plumpness. If the jaw is symmetrical, then this is exactly the legacy from one of the parents or ancestors.
Slanted chin (retrognathism)
The concave chin, on the contrary, tells of a weakly developed musculature, a flexible skeleton, a lack of tendency to plumpness, and a predisposition to color blindness. At birth, the owners of such a chin weigh less. A symmetrical slanted chin is also a hereditary trait.
Asymmetrical jaw
Asymmetry of the jaw is not an innate but an acquired trait. It appears due to body stress in childhood, for example, a lack of protein, early weaning, the impact of heavy metals, obesity, and smoking. The reason may be a large family or a low level of income, which could affect nutrition or quality of medical care.
