104 Chapter 5 Table 3: The correlations between the palatal surface area and anthropometric measurements for the total study sample and stratified according to sex. N indicates the number of participants in each group. Data are expressed as the Spearman’s rho coefficient and bias-corrected accelerated (Bca) 95% confidence interval.
