Background.
A study on the cephalic index was carried out on subjects from school students in Ogbia tribe of Bayelsa state in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.
This study determined the cephalic indices among the school students.
In the present study, seven hundred subjects were randomly selected from secondary schools comprising 350 males and 350 females, respectively, with age range from 11–20 years, with both parents and grandparents of Ogbia tribe.
The length and breadth of the head were measured using a spreading caliper from standard bony landmarks.
The measurable point for head length was measured between the glabella and inions while the head breadth was the widest biparietal diameter.
The cephalic index was head breadth divided by the head length and multiplied by 100.
The result showed that the mean cephalic index was 76.56.
Males had a cephalic index of 77.21, while females had a cephalic index of 76.50.
Based on this study, 78.68% of individuals were mesocephalic, 11.4% dolichocephalic, 9.0% Brachycephalic, and 0.43% hyperbrachycephalic.
This research showed that the school students have mesocephalic phenotype.
The data from this research will be useful in anthropology, genetics, forensic medicine, and clinical practice.
