  1. Cephalic index population estimate, per country, and associated proportional cephalic index demographics both within ((\(\:N\)CI, country/\(\:N\)country)*100) and between countries ((\(\:N\)CI, country/\(\:N\)total CI)*100). Example: 22.4% of England’s population are listed as brachycephlic (‘within country’) and 82.6% of the UK brachycephalic population can be found within England (‘between countries’).
