ABSTRACT
It is known that there exists close relationship between cranial capacity and size of the brain. Several studies have estimated the cranial capacity, which indirectly reflects the brain volume in different populations. The aim of this study was to estimate cranial capacity of a particular age group of population of Madhya Pradesh. This study was carried out on 400 healthy 20-25 year old (200 male and 200 female) individuals of Madhya Pradesh state of India, by using linear dimensions of head (Lee Pearson's formula). The mean cranial capacity and SD in males & females were 1380.52+/-94.63 cc and 1188.75+/-91.16 cc respectively. This study has shown a significant (p<0.05) difference between male and female population, being higher in males than in females.
RESUMEN
Se sabe que existe relación entre la capacidad craneana y el tamaño del cerebro. Varios estudios han estimado la capacidad craneana, la que indirectamente refleja el volumen del cerebro en diferentes poblaciones. El objetivo de este estudio fue estimar la capacidad craneana en un grupo de edad específica de la población de Madhya Pradesh. Este estudio fue realizado en 400 sujetos sanos de 20 a 25 años de edad (200 hombres y 200 mujeres) del estado de Madhya Pradesh, India, mediante el uso de las dimensiones lineales de la cabeza (fórmula Lee Pearson). La capacidad craneana media y DS en los hombres y mujeres fue 1380,52+/-94,63 cc y 1188,75+/-91,16 cc respectivamente. Este estudio demostró una disminución significativa (p <0,05) entre la población masculina y femenina, siendo mayor en hombres que en mujeres.
