Abstract: Relation of neck circumference and relative muscle strength and cardiovascular risk factors in sedentary womenRelação da circunferência do pescoço com a força muscular relativa e os fatores de risco cardiovascular em mulheres sedentárias ). Based on the neck circumference, the sample was divided into two groups: Group Circumference <35cm (n=27) and Group Circumference ≥35cm (n=33) to compare relative muscle strength and cardiovascular risk factors. The correlation between variables was tested by Pearson and Sp… Show more

“…Women with a NC greater than 35 cm exhibit greater body mass [10] and less muscle strength [11], which may explain the lower mean value of MPT before surgery in comparison with the postoperative period following weight loss. The reduction in the diameter of the vocal tract, which decreases the area of the oropharynx [5], contributes to increased supralaryngeal resistance and increased subglottic pressure to overcome such damping, leading to increased resistance of the pharynx [7,8] and a reduction in MPT before surgery, with consequent improvement after weight loss.…”

“…Neck circumference was obtained with the subject sitting with the head in the Frankfort horizontal plane position. Briefly, a measuring tape was applied around the neck inferior to the laryngeal prominence and perpendicular to the long axis of the neck, while the minimal circumference was measured and recorded to the nearest 0.1 cm [26]. Waist circumference was measured at the midpoint between the lower rib margin, hip circumference was measured at the widest portion of the buttocks and the body adiposity index (BAI) was determined by the following formula: (BAI  =  [(hip circumference)/((height)1.5)–18)] [27].…”
