Neck Circumference as Predictor of Cardio-Metabolic Syndrome
Neck Circumference as Predictor of Cardio-Metabolic Syndrome
Our findings suggest that NC is a simple and effective anthropometric indice to identify cardio-metabolic syndrome among adults of China. NC plays an independent contribution to predicting the metabolic abnormalities beyond the classical anthropometric indices of BMI, WC and WHpR, and may be used as an optimal screening tool for cardio-metabolic risks and other obesity-related chronic diseases.
