Abstract in brief

  • The text discusses three types of ear creases—diagonal earlobe creases (DELCS), preauricular vertical creases, and paired creases of the helix (PECH)—which are linked to cardiovascular and metabolic disorders but the exact cause of these creases is not fully understood.
  • The author proposes a single, unified explanation for how all three types of ear creases develop, aiming to clarify their connection with health issues.
  • An anatomical link is suggested between these ear creases, cardiometabolic disorders, and facial visceral adiposity (fat accumulation), indicating that excess visceral fat in the face might be a common factor behind these features and related health risks.]
