TLDR Males in Jazan generally have larger foreheads than females, except in width.
This study on the Jazan population in Saudi Arabia analyzed forehead measurements in 297 participants, revealing significant gender differences, with males generally having larger forehead dimensions. The research found statistically significant differences in six out of seven measurements, emphasizing the need for region-specific anthropometric norms. These findings have implications for forensic identification, cosmetic surgery, and anthropological research, and suggest the importance of population-specific data for clinical applications in craniofacial analysis. The study also recommends future research to establish normative databases and explore the relationship between forehead dimensions, hairline recession, and alopecia subtypes.
