“…The minimum and maximum mean NC in men were 38.17cm and 39.70cm, respectively; while these numbers in women were 33.11cm and 35.90cm, respectively ( Table 1 ). The prevalence of high NC was available from 3 studies 18 , 19 , 25 , all of which used different thresholds for men and women; for men, the cut-off points ranged between 37cm and 41cm, while for women the range was between 34cm and 35cm. Based on these definitions, the prevalence of high NC in the general population went from 37.00% to 57.69% ( Table 1 ).…”

Background: High neck circumference (NC) is associated with high burden diseases in Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC). NC complements established anthropometric measurements for early identification of cardio-metabolic and other illnesses. However, evidence about NC has not been systematically studied in LAC. We aimed to estimate the mean NC and the prevalence of high NC in LAC. Methods: We conducted a systematic review in MEDLINE, Embase, Global Health and LILACS. Search results were screened and studied by two reviewers independently. To assess risk of bias of individual studies, we used the Hoy et al. scale and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. We conducted a random-effects meta-analysis. Results: In total, 182 abstracts were screened, 96 manuscripts were reviewed and 85 studies (n= 51,978) were summarized. From all the summarized studies, 14 were conducted in a sample of the general population, 23 were conducted with captive populations and 49 studies were conducted with patients. The pooled mean NC in the general population was 35.69 cm (95% IC: 34.85cm-36.53cm; I²: 99.6%). In our patient populations, the pooled mean NC in the obesity group was 42.56cm (95% CI 41.70cm-43.42cm; I²: 92.40%). Across all studied populations, there were several definitions of high NC; thus, prevalence estimates were not comparable. The prevalence of high NC ranged between 37.00% and 57.69% in the general population. The methodology to measure NC was not consistently reported. Conclusions: Mean NC in LAC appears to be in the range of estimates from other world regions. Inconsistent methods and definitions hamper cross-country comparisons and time trend analyses. There is a need for consistent and comparable definitions of NC so that it can be incorporated as a standard anthropometric indicator in surveys and epidemiological studies.

“…They were also asked how long they spent at these facilities and three questions of the GPAQ questionnaire: 1) if they walked or used a bicycle for more than 10 minutes to get to work, or school/university, and how frequently they did this; 2) evaluation of their general health level compared to one year ago; and 3) whether prior to using the OGs these users had carried out any physical activity and what was their main motivation to use the OGs. 18,19,20,21 . In order to define a large neck perimeter, the following measurements were considered as references for this study: ≥ 35 cm for women, and ≥41 for men 19 .…”

To put together a registry of the location of all existing outdoor gyms (OGs) in Santiago, Chile, and establish a profile of the users of these gyms. Methods: All OGs in Santiago located in public spaces were identified and geo-referenced, and an accessibility analysis of them was carried out. A total of 1,023 users of OGs were surveyed (71% men, average age 31.5 years old, SD =16.6), about the frequency of use of OGs, amount of time spent using them, transportation habits, motivation for usage, and their perceptions regarding their own health, among other questions. In addition, each person's neck circumference was measured. Results: There are 1,981 OGs in the city squares, sidewalks and parks, mostly located in poorest areas of the city. Most OG users live less than one kilometer away from an OG. Discussion: In line with international studies, this research demonstrates that OGs have positive collateral effects, as they not only contribute to users to increase their physical activity, but also because they attract people with sedentary lifestyles to make physical activity. This, in turn, might contribute to make urban areas more livable and safer, for they bring new "eyes to the street" and permit to use cities' under-occupied public spaces. Conclusion: The proliferation of outdoor gyms should be regarded as an opportunity for public health policies aimed at tackling the obesity problem and increasing the physical activity of people.

Background Because these are inexpensive and (fairly) easy to conduct, anthropometric measurements have been widely used as risk factors for many diseases (e.g., cardiovascular or cancer). Recently, there have been several reports pinpointing the association between neck circumference and obstructive sleep apnea, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. These conditions are highly prevalent Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC), where they carry a large disease and disability burden. Neck circumference arises as a potential complement of established anthropometric measurements, namely weight, height and waist/hip circumference. However, unlike these well-known measurements, evidence about neck circumference is scarce and has not been systematically collected in LAC. Objective To summarize the average neck circumference in LAC adults; and, exploratorily, to summarize the prevalence of large neck circumference (i.e., neck/cervical obesity). Methods Systematic review and meta-analysis. We will conduct a search in OVID (MEDLINE, Embase, Global Health) and LILACS. Search terms include those related to neck circumference, along with countries in LAC. We seek observational studies with a random sample of the general population, closed populations (e.g., workers), and patients; results will be presented for each of these groups. We will screen titles and abstracts; we will study in detail the selected papers. Both phases will be conducted by two reviewers independently. We will develop an extraction form to collate: country/year of data collection, methods of data collection, average neck circumference and, if available, prevalence of large neck circumference. Data extraction will be conducted by two reviewers independently. We will use the tool proposed by Hoy et al. and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale to assess the risk of bias. Conclusions This systematic review and meta-analysis will provide the average neck circumference in LAC adults. Currently, evidence about neck circumference in LAC has not been systematically studied, appraised or summarized. This work will provide information about this novel anthropometric measurement, and spark attention about its role as a potential anthropometric indicator and health risk factor.
