Association between Cardiometabolic disease and neck circumference

To evalutae neck circumference as a simple, non invasive anthropometric marker for identifying individuals at risk of cardimetabolic diseases. It may serve as an alternative measures with better feasibility in clinical and community settings. Early identification through this parameter can help in timely intervention and prevention of complications. Upper body subcutaneous fat- estimated via neck circumference- may contribute to cardiometabolic dysfunction through heightened lipolytic activity, resulting in increased release of free fatty acids, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and endothelial injury. Accordingly, the present study aims to evaluate the association between neck circumference and cardiometabolic disease.
