“…Analysis of the effect size showed only a small effect size for sex. The values of anthropological parameters of younger school age were presented in other countries, e.g., from Africa (Nigeria) [17,18]; from South America (Brazil) [38,40]; from Taiwan [11]; from India [31,57]; from Malaysia [9]; from Ireland [42]; from Japan [29,30,39]; and from Turkey [27].…”

Study aim: The aim of the study was to perform an anthropometric analysis of children of the minority population of younger school age from eastern Slovakia. Material and methods: The main aim of the study was to perform an anthropometric analysis of 6–10-year-old Romany children at primary schools in eastern Slovakia. In the study, we evaluated twenty measured anthropometric parameters in a group that consisted of 150 children (59 boys and 91 girls). Results: We compared the differences between the sexes and evaluated the body size effect between sexes. We found that in most of the measured parameters, the boys had higher average values. Conclusions: Our results confirmed differences in size for most somatic characteristics in the minority Slovak population. However, in order to confirm the findings, it will be necessary in future to evaluate a larger sample of children from Slovakia.

“… 19 Furthermore, the mean cranial capacity of Korean males was 1594 cm3 and that of Korean females was 1425 cm 3 . 20 Additionally, studies from Africa have suggested that the mean African cranial capacity differs from that of Asians and Americans: the cranial capacity for African males was 1460 cm 3 and for females was 1129 cm 3 . 20 The current study included mastoid air sinuses in calculation of cranial capacity.…”

Objectives: To measure the cranial capacity of members of the Saudi adult population across ages and genders. Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study that used 488 Computed Tomography (CT) scans of heads (of which 275 males) to measure cranial volume. The CT slices 0.625 mm thick were uploaded using the freely available software “3D-Slicer”, which then reconstructed the images and built a 3D module. Results: The mean (±SD) cranial capacity of the males was 1481.6 (±110) cm 3 (range: 1241–1723 cm3), whereas the cranial capacity of the females was 1375.4 (±104) cm 3 (range: 1203–1678 cm3). This study showed that the males had a mean cranial capacity that was 7% greater than that of the females in this study. The average cranial capacity of the males between the ages of 31 and 40 years was statistically significantly larger to that of the males aged 61–80 ( p <0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the average cranial capacity of the males was larger than that of the females. These study results can help to determine the normal cranial capacity of adults in Saudi Arabia. Further work should be carried out to aid in establishing reference data for the Saudi population.

“…It is thought that cranial capacity does not change in size during the rest of life [13]. The average cranial capacity of humans was suggested to be 1400 cm 3 (Milner, 1990), but other studies have suggested variations due to various factors such as race, environment, age, gender and hereditary factors [14,15]. Applying the Slovin's simplified formula for proportions, a sample size of 399.98 (approximately 400) adolescents was calculated to be used.…”

This work was aimed at comparing cranial capacity and multiple intelligence in Anambra adolescents. Three hundred and eighty three subjects were enlisted in the study, comprising 228 females (59.5%), and 155 males (40.5%), with an age range of 10-19 years. Each subject filled the Russell Rowe Model (2015) of Multiple Intelligence Test for adolescents which examined them on eight different forms of Multiple Intelligence: Verbal/Linguistic, Logical/Mathematical, Bodily/Kinesthetic, Musical/Rhythmic, Visual/Spatial, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal and Naturalist intelligences. Their craniofacial parameters of head length, head with and cranial olume were measured clinically. The Cranial capacity were calculated and documented. Analysis was by SPSS version 20.0. Statistical significance was considered at p≤0.05. Verbal and intrapersonal intelligence had the highest percentage of study subjects possessing them (82.69%) and this was seen among the older adolescent age group (17-19 years), while the intelligence with the least number of individuals exhibiting them was the music/rhythmic intelligence (53.85%) also seen among the older adolescent age group of the study subjects. Cranial capacity was found to correlate positively with verbal/linguistic, logical/mathematical, interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence, but not with musical/rhythmic, visual spatial, bodily kinesthetic and naturalistic intelligence. The prediction analysis showed an equal probability of possessing or not possessing any of the multiple intelligences (odd ratio = 1), even as the cranial capacity increased. This means that an adolescent’s multiple intelligence may not be extrapolated by merely measuring his/her cranial capacity.
