Key Points

  • This research examines how geographic region affects lip print patterns in adolescents from the Andean regions of Peru.
  • Analyzed lip print samples from adolescents in high Andean regions
  • Identified dominant lip print patterns
  • Evaluated the influence of geographical factors on lip morphology
  • Lip print patterns show a dominant morphology specific to high Andean adolescents
  • Geographic region significantly influences lip morphology
  • Findings support the use of lip prints as a biometric tool.

Abstract

The results indicate that lip print patterns have a characteristic dominant pattern in high Andean adolescents, with a significant influence of the geographic region on the morphology of the lips. The results underscore the significance of lip prints as a biometric method and offer proof of the morphological diversity of the Andean populations.
