Neck Circumference and the Development of Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in the Framingham Heart Study
Upper-body subcutaneous adipose tissue, estimated by neck circumference (NC), is a unique fat depot that may confer additional risk for metabolic risk factors over generalized and central adiposity (1). Using a prospective study design, we now evaluate whether NC improves the prediction of incident cardiovascular disease risk factors over BMI and waist circumference (2). Framingham Heart Study ...
متن کاملNeck Circumference and Insulin Resistance in Chinese Adults: The Cardiometabolic Risk in Chinese (CRC) Study
Neck circumference (NC) is a proxy for upper-body fat and a reliable screening measure for the identification of individuals with abnormal fat distribution. Recently, compelling evidence indicates that NC is positively associated with insulin resistance (IR) and a variety of cardiometabolic abnormalities, independent of overall adiposity and central obesity in Caucasians (1) or Chinese diabetic...
متن کاملNeck circumference and early stage atherosclerosis: the cardiometabolic risk in Chinese (CRC) study
BACKGROUND Neck circumference (NC) has been previously related to cardiometabolic risk factors. In this study we examined the association between NC and early stage atherosclerosis in Chinese adults. METHODS The study samples were from a community-based health examination survey in central China. In total 2,318 men and women (18-64 y) were included in the final analyses. Carotid radial pulse ...
متن کاملCardiovascular Risk in Psoriasis: A Population-Based Analysis with Assessment of the Framingham Risk Score
Objective. To examine the utility of the Framingham risk score (FRS) in estimating cardiovascular risk in psoriasis. Methods. We compared the predicted 10-year risk of cardiovascular events, namely, cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, heart failure, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, and coronary artery bypass grafting using the FRS, to the observed risk of cardiovascular ...
متن کاملSynergistic effects of neck circumference and metabolic risk factors on insulin resistance: the Cardiometabolic Risk in Chinese (CRC) study
OBJECTIVES Recent studies have associated neck circumference (NC) with insulin resistance (IR). We examined whether such relation was modified by other metabolic risk factors. METHODS The study samples were from a community-based health examination survey in central China. A total of 2588 apparently healthy Chinese men and women were included. RESULTS Plasma levels of total cholesterol (TC)...
