Abstract: Objective  To explore the relationship between neck circumference (NC)  and cardiovascular risk factors in population with hyperglycemia in community. Methods  A total of 2319 subjects (aged ≥40 years) with hyperglycemia was recruited in Dalian community from July 2012 to December 2014. NC, waist circumference (WC), blood pressure, plasma glucose, blood lipids were measured and documented in the questionnaire along with other basic information. Linear regression model and logistic regression model were constructed to assess the association between NC and cardiovascular risk factors.Results  (1) Average NC was (39.0±2.7) cm in men and (35.0±2.6) cm in women, which was  higher in males than females. (2) Logistic regression showed that after adjusting for BMI and WC, Increased NC is associated  with diabetes in men  and diabetes, hypertension, MS  in women. (3) The AUC was 0.755 for men and  0.731  for women. The neck circumference of 37.9  cm for men and 33.9  cm for women was the best cutoff point for determining subjects with MS.Conclusion  Neck circumference is associated with cardiovascular risk factors in community population with hyperglycemia.
