Controversy exists regarding possible international and interracial differences in head circumferences of children. We undertook the present study in order to see if there was a difference in head circumference between Japanese and Caucasian children. The subjects consisted of a total of 42,392 Japanese children between 0 and 4 years of age surveyed from 1940 to 1980, and these data were compared with those of American and British children. We conclude that there is a significant ethnic difference in head circumference, as large as one channel of usual percentiles, between Japanese and Caucasian children. The results indicate that smaller head circumference in Japanese children primarily reflects smaller stature of the Japanese
