This cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the cephalic index and head shape in undergraduate medical students of SEGi University, Kota Damansara with a total of 160 normal students 18-24 years-old (20 males and 20 females each from Malays, Chinese, Indians and Middle East). The statistical analysis was conducted using statistical package for the social sciences software (version 22.0). Our data showed for all the races, the males were dolicocephalic and females were mesocephalic. The mean cephalic index was statistically significant based on sex and races with p value of 0.03. Our result also showed that the mean cephalic index was statistically significant based on races with p value of 0.01 in case of male and female participants separately. Based on the results of the present study along with other findings, it can be concluded that head dimension varies with ethnic and sex. This may eventually be used...
