The prevalence of hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) was examined in different periods the Carpathian Basin from 4900 BCE to 17th century AD. study seeks evaluate temporal changes HFI and possible impact lifestyle on it. studied material consisted 4668 crania Hungary Serbia. were analyzed employing macroscopic endoscopic examination. In historic periods, sex age played a pivotal role development. Among predominantly pastoralist populations 5th–8th 10th centuries, considerably higher than medieval 9th–17th centuries. addition sex, other factors could be implicated physiological effects diet insulin regulation explain increased risk developing 10th-century populations. provides first comprehensive dataset archaeological Basin. It has implications for development past are not equally represented. order better understand etiology HFI, can used elucidate ancient
