“…In our study, WC and BMI were significantly and positively related to serum FT3 levels, irrespective of metabolic confounding factors, which was consistent with previous reports. Evidence indicated that NC was not merely a simple indicator for the upper body fat accumulation and was also found to be associated with diabetic complications and effective in identifying subclinical atherosclerosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease screening [20][21][22]. A few studies have compared the NC values of those with subclinical hypothyroidism and euthyroid individuals [23][24][25][26].…”

Objective. Neck circumference (NC) is a simple anthropometric index for the assessment of upper body obesity. Thyroid hormones are closely related to obesity, body fat distribution indicators, and metabolic parameters. However, there are currently no reports on the association between NC and thyroid hormones in the Chinese population. This study aimed to explore the relationship between NC and thyroid hormones in men with normal thyroid function. Methods. A total of 737 euthyroid men from Shanghai communities were enrolled. Anthropometric parameters, including NC and waist circumference (WC), were measured. Serum thyroid hormones were measured by electrochemical luminescence immunoassay. Results. NC, WC, and body mass index (BMI) were significantly positively correlated with serum free triiodothyronine (FT3) (all P < 0.05 ). FT3 levels all presented significant upward trends with the increase in NC, WC, or BMI quartiles (all P for trend < 0.05), whereas there were no significant correlations between the three obesity indices and free thyroxine or thyroid-stimulating hormone (both P > 0.05 ). After adjustment for metabolic confounding factors such as age, blood pressure, blood glucose, lipid profiles, and CRP in multiple linear regression analysis, the correlation between FT3 and NC disappeared (standardized β = −0.015, P = 0.705 ), and FT3 remained significantly associated with WC (standardized β = 0.103, P = 0.012 ) and BMI (standardized β = 0.082, P = 0.047 ). Conclusions. In euthyroid men from Shanghai communities, there was no independent correlation between serum FT3 levels and NC. The trial was registered with ChiCTR1900024011.

Research involving human subjects in ambulatory settings is a critical link in the chain comprising translational research, spanning preclinical research to human subject and patient cohort studies. There are presently a wide array of techniques and approaches available to investigators wishing to study blood flow, perfusion, and vascular structure and function in human subjects. In this multi-sectioned review, we discuss capillaroscopy, carotid intima-media thickness, flow-mediated dilation, laser Doppler flowmetry, near-infrared spectroscopy, peripheral arterial tonometry, pulse wave velocity, retinal fundus imaging, and vascular plethysmography. Each section contains a general overview and the physical basis of the technique followed by a discussion of the procedures involved and the necessary equipment, with attention paid to specific requirements or limitations. Subsequently, we detail which aspects of vascular function can be studied with a given technique, the analytical approach to the collected data, and the appropriate application and limitation(s) to the interpretation of the data collected. Finally, a modified scoping review provides a summary of how each assessment technique has been applied in previous studies. It is anticipated that this review will provide an efficient source of information and insight for preclinical investigators seeking to add translational aspects to their research programs.

Furthermore, NC was found to be significantly correlated with visceral adipose tissue and carotid intima media thickness in the Chinese population [11,12]. Our previous study also identified NC as a risk factor for obesity and metabolic syndrome, independent of waist circumference (WC), in elderly individuals residing in eastern China [13].…”

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate whether neck circumference (NC) was associated with the incidence of type 2 diabetes in Chinese elderly individuals. Methods: A community-based cohort study was conducted on elderly inhabitants in Shanghai with a mean age of 71.0 ± 5.8 years (n = 2,646). Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between NC and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes, while a Cox regression model was used to determine the association between NC and the incidence of type 2 diabetes after a follow-up of 2 years. Results: Logistic regression analysis showed that a larger NC was significantly associated with an increased risk for type 2 diabetes in men (odds ratio [OR] 1.18, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07–1.31; p = 0.001) and women (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.13–1.38; p < 0.001). Cox regression analysis revealed that NC was independently associated with the incidence of type 2 diabetes in both men (hazard ratio [HR] 1.14, 95% CI 1.05–1.23; p = 0.002) and women (HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.10–1.27; p < 0.001). Conclusions: A larger NC was associated with a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes in Chinese elderly individuals. However, studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up durations are needed to definitively determine the relationship between NC and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
