Comparisons of chewing rhythm, craniomandibular morphology, body mass and height between mothers and their biological daughters

•Height and weight were significantly correlated between mother–daughter pairs.•Jaw “length”, i.e., Co-Gn and Go-Gn also correlated between mother–daughter pairs.•Mean chew-cycle duration did not correlate between mother–daughter pairs.•Mean chew-cycle duration correlated positively with maternal ANB angle and height.•Mean chew-cycle duration correlated negatively with Co-Gn in daughters.
