Estimation of Cranial Capacity in 17-20 Years Old in South East of Caspian Sea Border (North of Iran)

Abstract

It is natural that there is close relationship between cranial capacity, and the size of brain, several studies have estimated the cranial capacity which indirectly reflects the brain volume in different countries. In the present study cranial capacity has been estimated in Turkmans and native Fars17-20 years old groups in North of Iran.This study was carried out on 808 normal 17-20 years old (male 398, female 410) in Turkman and native Fars groups in South-East of Caspian Sea border (North of IRAN). By using linear dimensions of the head.The mean and SD of cranial capacity in Turkmans males and females were 1420.6±85 ml and 1227.2±120 ml, respectively. The mean and SD of cranial capacity in native Fars male and females were 1369±142ml, 1215.8±125ml, respectively, this difference was significant (P<0.05).This investigation was shown that the cranial capacity is higher in male than female, also racial factor can affect on cranial capacity.

A Cross-sectional Anthropomic Study of Cranial Capacity among Ukwuani People of South Nigeria

“…The average cranial capacity of humans was suggested to be 1400 cc (19), but other studies have suggested variations due to various factors (4,5,(20)(21)(22). The present study revealed that the mean cranial capacity of the Ukwuani people varied according to age.…”

Assessment of the Total Intra-Cranial Volume of the Igbo Population of Nigeria Using Computed Tomography

“…An earlier study had reported Caucasians to have higher mean TIV values than the Negroes [19]. A comparison of the mean TIV from our study and other studies in other populations showed mild to moderate variation in values which probably due to differences geographical location and race as reported in literature [3,4]. The differences in our values from that of Odokuma et al [2] from the same Igbo population may be due to the methodology (anthropometry) which may have overestimated the TIV as affirmed by other authors [3,14,20].…”

“…TIV has been reported to be affected by age, gender, body mass index, geographical location, and race [2][3][4]. It is also invaluable for anthropological and forensic studies [5].…”

Comparative Study of Cranial Capacity of the Non-tribal with Korku Tribal Population of Madhya Pradesh, India

“…Most of those available studies have been done on dry skulls using linear dimensions, packing methods or occasionally radiological methods. Only a few studies have been done on living subjects (Golalipour et al, 2005;Acer et al;Nooranipour & Farahani, 2008;Gohiya et al, 2010aGohiya et al, , 2010b. Although a few studies on the estimation of cranial volume do exist in the Indian literature, these studies are based on examination of macerated skulls (Manjunath, 2002b;Shukla, 1966;Routal et al, 1984) and living subjects (Gohiya et al, 2010a(Gohiya et al, , 2010b).…”
