Comments:

This measurement is carried out with sliding calipers [Farkas, [1981]]. This feature gives the appearance of a short forehead. It is distinct from hirsutism of the forehead. In the latter, orientation of hair growth is lateral and texture and density of hair differs from scalp hair.

Synonyms:

• Forehead, Low
• Forehead, Short
