The aim of this study was to determine the average penile length and investigate the relationship between penile length and somatometric parameters in a group of healthy Nigerian men. A total of 200 healthy men were included in the study. The age, height and weight of the subjects were recorded. Penile length was measure in flaccid state. The correlation between penile length and somatometric parameters was analyzed by Pearson s analysis. The mean age of the subjects was 22.51±2.97 years. The mean penile length in flaccid states was 10.5±0.09cm. There was a weak positive correlation found between penile length and height, weight, and Body mass index respectively (P≤0.001, for all). The penile length must be known to be able to determine the abnormal penile sizes and to make convenient decisions in the counseling and treatment of people with short penis concern. These results demonstrate that somatometric parameters are correlated with penile length. We believe that further studies would provide more information about the casual relationship.enPhallus lengthBody mass indexFoot lengthSomatometric.Article
