Neck Circumference as a Practical Anthropometric Biomarker for Visceral Adiposity and Metabolic Dysregulation in Type 2 Diabetes

Key Points

Neck circumference serves as an effective biomarker for metabolic dysfunction in type 2 diabetes.
The established sex-specific cut-off values enhance risk stratification for patients with T2D.
Utilizing this non-invasive anthropometric measurement enables early intervention and better management.
Adopting neck circumference as a clinical tool may improve public health outcomes in metabolic disease.

Abstract

NC serves as a highly accessible and effective biomarker for visceral adiposity and associated metabolic dysfunction in patients with T2D. The established sex-specific cut-off values provide a simple, non-invasive tool for risk stratification in clinical and public health settings, enabling early intervention and improved management of metabolic disease.
