To determine the incidence of metopism in the modern and archaeological Croatian population.
A total of 800 specimens (454 modern multi-slice computed tomography [MSCT] scans and 346 dry archaeological skulls) were visually examined for metopic suture presence. The metopic suture was deemed complete when aligned nasion to bregma.
In the overall sample, the metopic suture was observed in 36 of 800 subjects (4.5%): 19 of 424 (4.5%) men and 17 of 370 (4.6%) women. A significant difference was not observed between modern and archaeological samples (χ2=3.219, P=0.359) or between the sexes (χ2=0.006, P=0.939). The frequency of metopism varied from 3.5% in the modern population to 7.04% in the samples from the Roman period.
There are no visible secular changes on metopic suture in the Croatian population through time. Some variations can be the result of differences in sample size in different time periods.
确定现代克罗地亚人群和考古发掘的克罗地亚人群中额缝早闭的发生率。
对总共800个样本(454例现代多层螺旋计算机断层扫描[MSCT]图像和346个考古发掘的干燥颅骨)进行肉眼检查,以确定是否存在额缝。当鼻根点与前囟点连线时,额缝被视为完整。
在整个样本中,800名受试者中有36名(4.5%)观察到额缝:424名男性中有19名(4.5%),370名女性中有17名(4.6%)。现代样本与考古样本之间(χ2=3.219,P=0.359)以及不同性别之间(χ2=0.006,P=0.939)均未观察到显著差异。额缝早闭的发生率从现代人群中的3.5%到罗马时期样本中的7.04%不等。
克罗地亚人群随时间推移,额缝未见明显的长期变化。不同时期样本量的差异可能导致了一些变化。
