Abstract

Young Tibetan adults predominantly exhibit brachycephaly and hypsicephaly, with distinct sexual dimorphism and male-biased regional variation. These patterns likely reflect a combination of cold-climate adaptation, genetic history, and sexual selection. These findings provide clinically relevant morphometric standards for the region.
