[Human skull volume in relation to other skull parameters (author's transl)].
Previously we measured volumes of 235 human skulls by use of our newly developed method of water filling. In this report, we analyzed the relation of skull volumes (C) to other main skull parameters such as skull weight (W), skull modulus (M), multiple of three main diameters (V) and main skull indices. 1. Changes in C depending on age and sex were most closely related with those in V. 2. Average M was kept relatively constant independent of age and values of C/M=Q showed a change similar to C. 3. Three skull indices appear to have no relation to C.
