<![CDATA[ The pattern of facial aging helps put the perception of age into face approximation from the skull, making the facemore recognizable to the next of kin. The objective of this study is to determine the facial aging pattern of Javanesepeople in Indonesia. This study utilized the descriptive quantitative method to identify the highest frequency of thefacial aging pattern variables according to its prominence (0 = Not visible; 1 = Slightly visible; and 2 = Clearlyvisible). This study involved 50 male and 50 female samples of the Javanese population. Each sexed samples weredivided into two age-based groups: 40-44 and 45-49. The wrinkles on males and females aged 40-44 are mostlyslightly or not visible. In the 45-49 age group, the wrinkles are visible on the forehead, eyes, and cheeks. Sexdifferences are found in the forehead and cheek grooves, with males having deeper wrinkles. Premature aging of themale samples might be caused by longer working hours and heavier smoking habits. Aside from sex and gender,ancestry also contributes to a unique aging pattern of the Javanese, differentiating them from other populations. Thecomplex interaction between both sociocultural and biological factors is significant in forming a certain pattern offacial skin aging in different populations and sexes. Aside from its theoretical contribution to studies on humanbiological variations, this study can be referenced to depict more accurate and appropriate facial features in forensiccases that require facial approximations, especially those involving the Javanese people and the general Indonesianpopulation.]]>
