摘要
Although the human race must be regarded as a unit intellectually and physically, from the anthropologists%26apos; viewpoint the particular set of bones most often measured for purposes of racial classification are those of the head. The aim of the present work was to determine some relevant cephalofacial parameters, particularly in relation to sex and to study the distribution of basic head and face types of a Kosova Albanian population. The study sample comprised 754 subjects of both sex (561 male and 193 female) aged 18 to 35 from Kosova. Five basic cephalofacial variables were measured to obtain the head and face indexes. Statistically significant differences between two treated groups, according to sex, were found almost in all measured cephalofacial variables. Such proportional differences did not influence only the Total Facial 赤ndex. According to the horizontal cephalic 赤ndex the head of the treated subjects (51.9% males, 46.1% females) mainly belongs to brachiocephalic type; According to the vertical cephalic 赤ndex 48.4% of the treated male entities and 40.4% of the female entities belongs to the type with low hypsicephalic head. According to the transverse cephalic 赤ndex both treated entities mainly (male 66.8% and female 75.1%) belongs to the group with tapeinocephalic type of the head. According to the total facial index the treated male entities are mainly distributed in two types of the face: leptoprosop type (31.2%) and hyperleptoprosop type (31.6%), whereas the female entities are mostly (48.7%) concentrated in hyperleptoprosop facial type. A pesar que la raza humana debe considerarse como una unidad intelectual y f赤sicamente hablando, desde el punto de vista de los antrop車logos, la particular serie de huesos que con mayor frecuencia son medidos para efectos de clasificaci車n racial, son los de la cabeza. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar algunos par芍metros cefalofaciales pertinentes, en particular los relacionados con el sexo, para estudiar la distribuci車n b芍sica del tipo de cabeza y cara en una poblaci車n albanesa de Kosovo. La muestra del estudio fue de 754 sujetos, de ambos sexos (561 varones y 193 mujeres), entre 18 y 35 a os, de Kosovo. Cinco variables cefalofaciales b芍sicas fueron medidas para obtener 赤ndices de la cabeza y cara. Diferencias estad赤sticamente significativas entre los dos grupos estudiados, de acuerdo al sexo, se encontraron casi en todas las variables cefalofaciales medidas. Estas diferencias proporcionales no s車lo influyen en el 赤ndice facial total. Seg迆n el 赤ndice cef芍lico horizontal de la cabeza de los suje
