  • Cranial development: cranial development during childhood and adolescence can influence the shape of the forehead.
  • Muscle mass and adipose tissue.
  • Medical conditions and syndromes: certain pathologies have an impact on bone and muscle development.
  • Environmental factors: certain environmental factors during growth, such as nutrition and cranial trauma, can also influence the shape of the forehead.
