Cephalic index is an important parameter for classifying populations. The study was aimed at
determining the cephalic indices among Ogonis. In the present study, eight hundred (800) subjects comprising
400 males and 400 females with age ranging from 25-45 years of Ogoni ethnic group by both parents and
grandparents were measured. The subjects were measured for head length and head breadth and cephalic index
was worked out by dividing the head breadth by head length and multiplying by 100. The cephalic indices were
calculated and the result analyzed using z-test. On the average, the mean cephalic index was >80 which puts
Ogonis in the brachycephalic population. The z-test analysis indicated that there was significant difference
between Ogoni males and Ogoni females. Thus cephalic index is sexually dimorphic amongst the Ogonis. The
result of this study will be of importance in forensic medicine, anthropology and in genetics.
Key words: Cephalic index, head length, head breadth, ethnic group, anthropology, ,
