Abstract

In 892 children aged 3-11 years of both sexes, the age variability of the head circumference, longitudinal and transverse diameters of the head, zygomatic and width of the lower part of the face diameters was studied. All the subjects were divided into 9 age groups with an annual interval. The studied parameters in the selected age groups are characterized by wave–like changes - periods of growth, rest and decrease. The circumference of the head and the zygomatic diameter increase in the period from 3 to 1 years, having a period of relative rest in 6, 8 and 11 years. The longitudinal diameter is stable at 8, 9 years; at – 10- year–olds - it decreases; in other groups, it is growing. The transverse diameter grows up to 11 years of age, remaining unchanged in 7-, 9- and 10-year-olds. The interangular diameter grows in 6-, 8-9-, 10-11-year-olds; decreases in 5- and 7-year-olds; does not change in 3- and 4-year-olds. The study of the ratio between the main diameters of the head revealed certain patterns indicating an uneven increase in the skull sections in the studied age periods and a certain synchronization of growth processes.
