Abstract

Aim: To determine the incidence of metopism in the modern and archaeological Croatian population.

Methods: 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.

Results: 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.

Conclusion: 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.

现代和考古克罗地亚人口中出现的元缝。

目的：确定克罗地亚现代和考古人群中偏头畸形的发生率：方法：对总共 800 个标本（454 个现代多层计算机断层扫描[MSCT]扫描件和 346 个干燥的考古头骨）进行目测，以确定是否存在偏头缝。结果显示，在所有样本中，颅骨的骺缝都是完整的：在所有样本中，800 个受试者中有 36 个（4.5%）观察到了偏侧缝，424 个受试者中有 19 个（4.5%）观察到了偏侧缝：在 424 名男性和 370 名女性中，分别有 19 人（4.5%）和 17 人（4.6%）发现了偏侧缝。在现代样本和考古样本之间（χ2=3.219，P=0.359）或性别之间（χ2=0.006，P=0.939）未发现明显差异。中耳炎的发生率从现代人口的 3.5%到罗马时期样本的 7.04%不等：克罗地亚人口的偏头缝在不同时期没有明显的世俗变化。某些变化可能是由于不同时期样本量的差异造成的。
