The head breadth and head length of 175 children (84 boys, 91 girls) were investigated from birth up to the age of three years. Boys were shown to have greater distance values. Growth increments and velocity did not differ between boys and girls. The velocity was highest in the first trimenon. The children of this study had a greater head length, therefore the value of their cephalic index was lower as described in previous investigations. The phenomenon of debrachycephalisation observed in our populations confirms previous observations.
对175名儿童（84名男孩，91名女孩）从出生到三岁的头宽和头长进行了调查。结果显示男孩的距离值更大。男孩和女孩的生长增量和速度没有差异。速度在妊娠头三个月最高。本研究中的儿童头长更大，因此他们的头指数值如先前研究所描述的那样较低。在我们的人群中观察到的短头化现象证实了先前的观察结果。
