“…Ben Noun et al, [9][10][11][12] observed relationship between changes in neck circumference and changes in blood pressure. They found that changes in systolic BP and diastolic BP correlated positively with changes in NC and other components of the metabolic syndrome.…”

“…In a first cross sectional study by Ben-Noun et al, [9][10][11][12] which was done to identify overweight or obese patients solely by measuring the circumference of the neck, observed that NC >37cm for men and >34cm for women were the best cutoff levels for determining the subjects with BMI >25.0 kg/m 2 using the receiver output curve analysis. In our study we also observed same characteristics as NC 37 cm for men and 34 cm for women identified subjects with BMI >25.0 kg/m 2 with 75% to 86% sensitivity for men and 63% to 93% for women, 80% to 90% specificity for men and 80% to 100% for women.…”

Background: Only few studies about neck circumference (NC) as a measure of cardio metabolic syndrome available from India. Study was conducted to establish an association between neck circumference and cardio metabolic syndrome. Material and Methods:Cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in South India. NCEP: ATPIII 2001 guideline was used for diagnosis of Cardio-metabolic syndrome among subjects. Neck circumference was measured and it was correlated with Cardio-metabolic syndrome.Results: Mean neck circumference was found to be 36.5 cms. Cardio-metabolic syndrome was present in 272 participants, of which 100 were females and 172 males. Among females 82(82%) had neck circumference >34cms, 18(18%) had <34cms and among males 117(68%)had NC >37cms and 55(32%) had NC<37cms. All individual parameter of cardio metabolic risk factor, i.e., BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, FBS, HDL & TG except waist/hip ratio were correlating with abnormal neck circumference when compared with those with normal neck circumference. Conclusion:Neck circumference with metabolic syndrome correlated better among females than males. Men with NC >37 cm and women with NC >34 cm are more prone for cardio metabolic syndrome and require additional evaluation. Measurement of NC is a simple, time saving, and least invasive measurement tool.

“…Neck circumference (NC) has been proposed as a useful indicator to measure upper body obesity in different studies in the past [3,[14][15][16][17][18]. These studies have shown that men with NC < 37 cm and women with NC < 34 cm have a low body mass index [14].…”

“…[2] stated that the proportion classified as obese increased from 6 percent among men aged [15][16][17][18][19] to 33 percent of men aged 55-59. Urban men were much more likely than rural men to be obese (22 percent and 15 percent, respectively).…”

“…NC was found to be related to the other anthropometric measures of obesity and fat distribution in many studies (17,18,28), which confirmed the results of Pearson correlation in the present study. Ben-Noun and Laor concluded that changes in NC were correlated with changes in CVD risk since it was correlated strongly with changes in SBP and DBP, and some other factors of the metabolic syndrome (17,29).…”

Prehypertension in Children and Adolescents: Association with Body Weight and Neck Circumference

et al. 2012

Objective The present study was undertaken to investigate the role of neck circumference (NC) in predicting prehypertension in children and adolescents. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study including 6,802 children and adolescents (3,631 boys and 3,171 girls) aged 5-18 years. Main anthropometric data and related information were collected. Results The prevalence of prehypertension was 14.4%, 16.4% and 17.1% in normal weight, overweight and obese group respectively. Among the participants with normal body mass index (BMI), higher NC was significantly associated with increased odds of prehypertension (OR: 1.439; 95% CI: 1.118 to 1.853) after adjustment for age, gender, BMI and WC. Significant associations between NC and either systolic blood pressure (SBP) (β=0.581 mmHg) or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (β=0.236 mmHg) were found in the linear regression. No significant ORs were observed either in overweight or in obese categories. Conclusion We concluded that additional measure of NC might expand the ability of BMI for the identification of prehypertension in normal weight children and adolescents.
