Sažetak
Aim To determine the incidence of metopism in the modern and archaeological Croatian population.
Methods A total of 800 specimens (454 modern multislice computed tomography [MSCT] scans and 346 dry archaeological skulls) were visually examined for metopic suture presence. The metopic suture was deemed complete
when aligned nasion to bregma.
Results In the overall sample, the metopic suture was observed in 36 of 800 subjects (4.5%): 19 of 424 (4.5%) men
and 17 of 370 (4.6%) women. A significant difference was
not observed between modern and archaeological samples (χ2=3.219, P=0.359) or between the sexes (χ2=0.006,
P=0.939). The frequency of metopism varied from 3.5% in
the modern population to 7.04% in the samples from the
Roman period.
Conclusion There are no visible secular changes on metopic suture in the Croatian population through time. Some
variations can be the result of differences in sample size in
different time periods
