cintura (PC), relação cintura/estatura (RCE) e perímetro do pescoço (PP) como indicadores …

OBJECTIVES: Overweight in children is most commonly described by using BMI. Because
BMI does not adequately describe regional (central) adiposity, other indices of body fatness …

Background The predictive potentials of neck circumference (NC) for cardio-metabolic risks
remain uncertain. The aim of this study was to investigate whether NC independently …

between neck circumference and cardiometabolic risk factors and to determine the utility of …

Objective Early identification of cardiovascular risk factors consists an essential target for
public health. The current study aims to examine the association between neck …

Background Upper body subcutaneous fat, estimated by neck circumference (NC), may
