- Abstract
There are few normal standards of head length and breadth, from childhood to adulthood, for Caucasian populations. Moreover, such standards are based on samples that cannot be used as a reference for all populations since they were taken from different ethnic groups and from different periods. The results show that international standards are not appropriate for the growth assessment of Sardinian children. For the Sardinian population, specific regional growth charts should be used to correctly evaluate the normal range and the cut-off points of extreme percentiles.
