Researchers have found in a new study that neck circumference is significantly associated with components of metabolic syndrome and offers a simple, low-cost, and effective method for screening metabolic risk, particularly useful in resource-limited settings. The study, published in Cureus, evaluated the relationship between neck circumference and various metabolic risk factors, including waist circumference, blood pressure, glucose levels, and lipid profiles. Findings indicated that larger neck circumference correlated strongly with higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome traits, suggesting that this measurement could serve as a practical anthropometric marker for identifying individuals at elevated cardiometabolic risk.
