“…The mean value for head breadth in males (93.77±4.33 mm) was slightly higher than that of females (91.51±5.39 mm). In contrast, studies done on Indian, 15 Nigerian 10 and Turkish 8 populations showed the mean values were higher than our study. Similar result was also found by authors who revealed the mean values of head breadth is higher among males in different region of India.…”

“…21 This finding is comparable to that of the current study. Few other studies conducted among Turkish, 8 Nigerian 10 and Indian 13,15 newborns observed that the males had higher mean values but the overall mean values were greater than the present study. The mean value for head breadth in males (93.77±4.33 mm) was slightly higher than that of females (91.51±5.39 mm).…”

“…4,13,14 Taking demographic into account central parts of Europe, Indian population have mesocephalic head. 3,6,15,16 Although anthropometric data of neonates have been carried out in other parts of the world, it is generally lacking in developing countries. The standard value of cephalometric has some limitation regarding with environmental and nutritional factor.…”

Background: The cephalometry of newborn within first few days is important for assessment of health status, neonatal death, growth and development. The objective of the study is to provide a baseline data for cephalic index and to observe sexual dimorphism. Methods: The present study was cross sectional type. It consisted of 138(72 males, 66 females) healthy neonates born in Dhulikhel hospital via vaginal delivery. It was conducted from June 2019 to March 2020 after receiving ethical approval. The cephalic index was derived after measuring length and breadth of head. The collected data was entered in excel and analyzed with SPSS (16.0). Results: The conducted study revealed the overall cephalic index as 86.51±4.95 and head circumference to be 336.05±13.87 mm. The values of head circumference and head length of males were higher than that of females. The head breadth of males was found to be significantly higher than that of females. The most common type of head type was hyperbrachycephalic with prevalence of 37.7% (40.3% males and 34.8% females). Conclusions: This study concluded that the majority type of head was hyperbrachycephalic.

“…In contrast, the hyperbrachycephalic head type is in third place. In addition, in the study of Patro et al, it was reported that there were serious differences in skull types between men and women (6). In our study, however, no significant difference was found between the genders in terms of skull types.…”

“…Skulls do not show sex discrimination in children until puberty. After puberty, differences in dimensions begin to emerge (6). There is a possibility that the cephalic index data of a society, the percentage of cranial types, and many orthopedic and orthodontic clinical materials such as glasses and earmuffs to be produced and developed for the head and face region may affect the quantitative properties such as shape, size, and quantity.…”

Amaç: Pek çok canlı türünde kafatası ölçümleri ırkların ve etnik farklılıkların belirlenmesinde önemlidir. Ayrıca bedensel bütünlüğün bozulduğu doğal afetler gibi durumlarda, kafatası ölçümleri adli tıp bakımından kimliklendirmede ve cinsiyet belirlenmesinde önemlidir. Sefalik index, kafatasında biparietal çapın sagittal uzunluğa oranının 100 ile çarpılması ile elde edilir. Materyal ve Metod: Çalışma, sağlıklı 20-40 yaş aralığında 80 genç erişkine ait, retrospektif olarak elde edilen bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntüleri üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Ölçümler sagittal ve koronal düzlemde yapıldı. Bulgular: Kafatası uzunluğu, kafatası genişliği ve sefalik indeks ortalama değerleri, sırasıyla, erkeklerde 182.09±6.67, 146.60±6.30 ve %80.59±4.26; kadınlarda 173.45±6,98, 140.41±6.53 ve %81.07±4.48 bulundu. Kafatası uzunluğu ve genişliği erkeklerde kadınlara göre daha fazlaydı ve aradaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı p<0.05. Kafatası tipi yüzdeleri erkeklerde %10 Dolicocephalic, %37.5 Mesocephalic %37.5 Brachycephalic, %15 Hyperbrachycephalic; kadınlarda %7.5 Dolicocephalic, %42,5 Mesocephalic %27.5 Brachycephalic % 22.5 Hyperbrachycephalic olarak bulundu. Sefaliks indeks açısından cinsiyetler arasındaki fark anlamlı değildi p>0.05. Cephalic index, kafatası uzunluğu ile negatif yönde orta düzeyde, kafatası genişliği ile pozitif yönde orta düzeyde korelasyona sahipti. Sonuç: Çalışmamızın verilerinin anatomistler, antropologlar, arkeologlar, adli tıp uzmanları, baş bölgesi cerrahları için faydalı olacağı kanaatindeyiz. Ayrıca baş ve yüz bölgesi için eksternal kullanıma yönelik geliştirilen cihaz ve aygıtlar açısından da önemli olacaktır.

BACKGROUND Morphology of all living beings undergo some changes during life. It is variable in individuals in same species. Referring the various works on cephalic index and observing socioeconomical status of Eastern Odisha, this study was done to find out the distribution of cephalic index in the population of Eastern Odisha. METHODSThis cross-sectional study covered 2050 outdoor patients of Eastern Odisha which includes the costal districts of Odisha. Using spreading calipers maximum length and maximum breadth of the head were recorded. Cephalic Index= (Maximum Head Breadth/ Maximum Head Length)*100. Based on this calculated cephalic index, skulls are classified as Dolichocephaly, Mesocephalic, Brachycephalic and Hyper-brachycephalic. RESULTSFrom this present study, it was observed that mean cephalic index in females is higher than that of males. In males, maximum skulls were mesocephalic followed by dolichocephalic but in females, maximum were mesocephalic followed by brachycephalic.
