Neck circumference as a measure of neck fat and abdominal visceral fat in Chinese adults
BACKGROUND Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a unique pathogenic fatty deposit, in that it is closely correlated with risk of cardiovascular diseases. The present study is to investigate the usefulness of neck circumference (NC) to indicate VAT. METHODS Participants aged 35 to 75 years who had taken abdomen and neck computer tomography (CT) examination were included in this study. Neck adipose...
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 is independently associated with relative systemic hypertension in young adults with sickle cell anaemia
Background A seemingly interesting observation in patients with sickle cell anaemia (SCA) is that they usually have lower systemic blood pressures (BP) and insulin resistance than persons in the general population in spite of chronic inflammation and vasculopathy. However, relative systemic hypertension (rHTN) has been linked to pulmonary hypertension, increased blood viscosity and renal insuff...
متن کاملRelationship Between Neck Circumference and Cardiometabolic Parameters in HIV-Infected and non–HIV-Infected Adults
OBJECTIVE Upper body fat is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk. More recently, neck circumference (NC) and/or neck fat have been associated with hyperlipidemia, impaired glucose homeostasis, and hypertension. The objective of this study was to determine whether this relationship is evident in HIV-infected individuals, who often exhibit changes in relative fat distribution, and to de...
متن کاملThe association between neck circumference and cardiovascular risk factors in patients with acute coronary syndrome
Purpose: To investigate the relationship between neck circumferences and cardiovascular risk factors in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Materials and Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 100 patients with acute coronary syndrome in Kerman hospitals were assessed by measuring their neck circumference and risk factors of cardiovascular disease. The data were analyzed by student t...
