Abstract
For the purpose of planning babies' head-gears, the authors measured 554 babies' heads (350 males and 249 females) aged 1 to 12 months by the tape measure in 1973. The items of measurement included head girth, right tragion-under mandibula-left tragion length, right tragion-protuberantia occipitalis externa-left tragion length, right tragion-vertex-left tragion length, and protuberantia occipitalis externa-vertex-glabella length.<BR>The following results were obtained.<BR>1) Though all measurements increase rapidly especially before 3 or 4 months, the growth rate of each measurement is different. The occipital and parietal regions grow relatively earlier than the temporal, frontal and mandibular regions.<BR>2) Taking the head girth as basic item, 5 sizes of babies' head-gears (S : 38cm, SM : 41cm, M : 44cm, ML : 47cm, L : 50cm) were established and the sizes of other 4 items were estimated by the correlation coefficients between the head girth and them.
