Dolichocephaly

**Dolichocephalic** - a person with dolichocephaly - a type of skull in which the longitudinal diameter of the facial part of the skull is greater than the transverse one. **Appearance type**: long oval face, high and pointed cheekbones, wider forehead than average, narrower chin in relation to the average width of the lower jaw. The nose is in most cases weak and not regular. The modern anthropological term dolichocephalus is called dolichocephalic type of face. Dolichocrania is characteristic of the Mongoloids, found among Ashkenazi Jews, Pontic Greeks and Gallo-Romans. In Russia it is less common, but the proportion is almost no different from the proportion of brachycephalic skulls. This is due to the unclear separation of doleichon and parameiron in western Europe. Only in Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, northeastern Iran, the Baltic states and central Russia is there a separate dolichomerian region, where the occurrence of dolichodromic skulls is very low. Compared, for example, with the Scandinavians, the dolichodrome is characterized by a short and wide or dome-shaped head in profile.

Dolichocephaly is a head shape characterized by a large size and an elongated shape, resembling an elongated cube. This head shape may be due to genetic or hormonal changes and is usually seen in people who are in good health and physical condition but without other developmental disorders. In general, dolichocephaly is a common head shape and it can be genetically inherited or caused by hormonal imbalances or certain medical conditions.

Dolichocephaly does not lead to many other specific diseases and, as a rule, does not have a harmful effect on health. There are also some standards of medical supervision. You can visit a doctor only when you need it, if the doctor considers it necessary). Based on the doctor's opinion, the doctor may include "free" nutrition in the weight loss program.
