Association of neck circumference with insulin resistance-related factors
International Journal of Obesity, 2002Overall and central obesity are associated with disorders in lipid and glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, hypertension, atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes. Waist circumference and abdominal sagittal diameter have been suggested as the best simple anthropometric indexes of abdominal visceral fat accumulation.

Is Neck Circumference As Reliable As Waist Circumference for Determining Metabolic Syndrome?
Metabolic Syndrome and Related Disorders, 2021Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) comprises a cluster of risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases, which are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Many studies have shown that neck circumference (NC) has validity in the measure of MS since it correlates positively with the traditional components.

Neck Circumference and Cerebral Gray Matter Volume
Alzheimer Disease & Associated Disorders, 2020Background: While obesity is linked with brain atrophy and dementia incidence, associations with regional adiposity are uncertain. Our goal was to determine whether cerebral gray matter volume is related to neck circumference (NC), a measure of regional adiposity having unique relationships with metabolic disorders and ...

Purpose/Aim: Neck circumference (NC) is an emerging anthropometric parameter that has been proposed to reflect metabolic health. The aim of the current study was to compare its clinical usefulness to waist circumference (WC) in the assessment of individuals with severe obesity.A total of 255 subjects participated in the study.

Neck circumference correlates with obesity
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2001Measuring neck circumference can give a quick and easy indication of whether a patient could be overweight.Research by Louba Ben-Noun at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel has revealed a surprisingly strong correlation between neck circumference and several morphometrical measures that relate to being overweight and obese.Between the randomly ...
