“…Several researchers have reported similar associations of NC with BMI, WC, HC and WHR (Fink et al 2006;BenNoun and Laor 2006;Onat et al 2009;Hingorjo et al 2012;Adamu et al 2013;Aswathappa et al 2013Aswathappa et al , 2014Wang et al 2015;Özkaya and Tunçkale 2016). Furthermore, studies reported that NC has a potential role to surpassing excess adiposity marker over the conventional anthropometric measures (e.g., BMI, WC and WHR) in metabolic disorders (Onat et al 2009;Yang et al 2010;Adamu et al 2013;Aswathappa et al 2013;Wang et al 2015;Assyov et al 2016). The BMI has also shown a reasonably good correlation with the other conventional anthropometric variables of excess adiposity in adults (Dudeja et al 2001;Das and Bose 2006;Sarkar et al 2009;Hingorjo et al 2012;Aswathappa et al 2013).…”

“…Therefore, it was opined that BMI can be used to determine and monitor changes in the prevalence of overweight/obesity (Dudeja et al 2001;Das and Bose 2006;Onat et al 2009;Mondal and Sen 2014;Rengma et al 2015). Recent studies have reported that NC has a potential role to play as an excess adiposity marker over the conventional anthropo-metric variables in metabolic disorders in adults (Onat et al 2009;Yang et al 2010;Aswathappa et al 2013;Adamu et al 2013;Wang et al 2015;Assyov et al 2016). The present study also showed a high prevalence of overall and regional adiposity using the conventional anthropometric variables (such as BMI, WC, WHR and WC/height) among adults (Table 3).…”

“…The present study has also observed positive associations of the conventional anthropometric variables used to define excess adiposity between BMI, WC, HC and NC. Conventional anthropometric variables such as WC, WHR and WC/height predicted specifically intra-abdominal and regional adiposity risk associations with hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other non-communicable diseases (Dudeja et al 2001;Hsieh and Muto 2004;Onat et al 2009;Huxley et al 2010;Feng et al 2012;Adamu et al 2013;Bhowmik et al 2014;Cheong et al 2014).…”

“…Studies have reported significant associations between NC and the conventional anthropometric variables (such as BMI, WC and WHR) during the assessment of obesity and metabolic disorders among adults (Ben-Noun and Laor 2006;Onat et al 2009;Hingorjo et al 2012;Adamu et al 2013;Aswathappa et al 2014;Özkaya and Tunçkale 2016). Studies have further observed that higher NC values were associated with increased risk of type-2 diabetes and hypertension (Noun and Laor 2003;Yang et al 2010;Aswathappa et al 2013), cardiovascular diseases (Sjöström et al 1997;BenNoun and Laor 2006;Fink et al 2006) and metabolic disorders (Sjöström et al 1997;Ben-Noun and Laor 2006;Onat et al 2009;Yang et al 2010;Stabe et al 2013;Wang et al 2015).…”

Neck circumference (NC) is an anthropometric measurement of differentiating body fat distributions and a marker of upper subcutaneous adiposity. The present study highlights the association and importance of NC as a suitable proxy screening measure of overweight/obesity as compared to the conventional anthropometric variables used among Indian adults. The present community based cross-sectional study was undertaken among 1169 Karbi adults (males: 625; females: 544) residing in Karbi Anglong district of Assam, Northeast India, who were selected through a multistage stratified random sampling method. Height, weight, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC) and NC were recorded using standard procedures. The body mass index (BMI) was calculated and prevalence of overweight/obesity was assessed using standard cut-offs. The prevalence of obesity using BMI (≥25.00 kg m -2 ) was 15.52% and 15.26% among males and females, respectively (p≥0.05).The prevalence of obesity using NC was observed to be significantly higher among males (48.80%) than females (19.12%) (p<0.01). The binary logistic regression analysis showed that NC predicted obesity over the conventional anthropometric variables with reasonable accuracy (p<0.01). The ROC-AUC analysis showed a relatively greater significant association between BMI, WC and HC and NC for obesity (p<0.01). Thus, NC appears to be a potentially simple, easyto-use screening measure for predicting obesity among adults. Further studies are required to validate its use for screening of obesity among other ethnic populations in India.

Latar Belakang : Pencegahan penyakit DM tipe 2 dapat dilakukan dengan metode antropometri, diantaranya pengukuran lingkar pinggang dan lingkar leher. Lingkar pinggang merupakan metode antropometri obesitas abdominal atau obesitas sentral yang berhubungan dengan diabetes melitus tipe 2. Selain itu, lingkar leher merupakan metode antropometri lain yang telah dikaji dan direkomendasikan sebagai metodeyang mudah digunakan, lebih inovatif, menghemat waktu, serta berhubungan dengan risiko DM tipe 2. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara lingkar leher dan lingkar pinggang dengan kadar glukosa darah puasa orang dewasa.Metode : Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan desain cross sectional. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan consecutive sampling dan didapatkan sampel 51 subjek dengan usia ≥ 45 tahun. Semua subjek mengisi informed concent. Pengukuran lingkar leher dan lingkar pinggang dengan pita ukur, dilakukan tiga kali, dan diambil rata-ratanya. Data tinggi badan dan berat badan menggunakan mikrotoa dan timbangan digital. Subjek berpuasa selama 8-12 jam sebelum pengambilan sampel darah untuk pengukuran kadar glukosa darah puasa. Analisis data dilakukan dengan SPSS versi 17.Hasil : Pada penelitian ini didapatkan sebanyak 76,5% subjek obesitas berdasarkan IMT. Subjek yang memiliki kadar glukosa darah puasa tinggi (≥ 100mg/dl) sebesar 21,4%. Lingkar leher ≥ 38,2 cm pada laki-laki dan ≥ 35 cm pada perempuan memiliki risiko kadar glukosa darah puasa yang tinggi. Lingkar pinggang ≥ 100 cm pada laki-laki dan ≥ 106 cm pada perempuan juga memiliki risiko kadar glukosa darah puasa yang tinggi. Terdapat hubungan antara lingkar leher dengan kadar glukosa darah puasa (r = 0,342 ; p = 0,014) dan ada hubungan antara lingkar pinggang dengan kadar glukosa darah puasa (r = 0,375 ; p = 0,007).Simpulan: Semakin besar lingkar leher dan lingkar pinggang, maka semakin tinggi kadar glukosa darah puasa
