Obesity increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and other metabolic diseases. We intended to compare three different anthropometric indicators of obesity, in predicting the incidence of cardiovascular events in Chinese type 2 diabetes. Beijing Community Diabetes Study was a prospective multi-center study conducted in Beijing community health centers. Type 2 diabetes patients from fourteen community health centers were enrolled at baseline. The primary endpoint was cardiovascular events. The upper quartile of neck circumference (NC) was set as greater NC. A total of 3299 diabetes patients were enrolled. In which, 941 (28.52%) had cardiovascular disease at baseline. Logistic analysis showed that central obesity (waist circumference (WC) above 90 cm in men and 85 cm in women) and greater NC were all related to baseline cardiovascular disease (adjusted OR = 1.49, and 1.55). After 10-year follow-up, 340 (10.31%) had cardiovascular events. Compared with patients without cardiovascular events, those having cardiovascular events had higher BMI, larger WC and NC. Cox regression analysis showed that greater WC and NC were all associated with the occurrence of cardiovascular events (adjusted HR = 1.41, and 1.38). A higher NC and WC might increase the risk of cardiovascular events by about 40% in type 2 diabetes patients in Beijing communities.

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the association of the fat-mass and obesity associated gene (FTO) polymorphisms with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and the various aspects of BMI in Egyptian patients. FTO quality polymorphism was distinguished utilizing PCR-RFLP in 40 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and 40 evidently sound control subjects. All members were exposed to clinical assessment including estimating systolic and diastolic circulatory strain, BMI, midsection perimeter (WC), neck circuit (NC) and abdomen hip proportion (WHR) and evaluation of both quantitative insulin affectability check record (QUICKI) and HOMA-IR. People with AA genotype were 6.8 occasions bound to have DM than TT genotype patients. T allele was viewed as a defensive factor while An allele was a free hazard factor for T2DM. AA and AT genotypes are noteworthy indicators of type 2 diabetes mellitus. There was noteworthy increment in BMI, NC, WHR (in females) and WC (in guys) in AA genotype bunch contrasted with TT and AT genotype gatherings. HOMA-IR was distinguished higher in AA genotype bunch contrasted with TT and AT genotype gatherings. An allel of (FTO rs9939609) quality polymorphism was seen as altogether connected with expanded danger of T2D and expanded BMI in Egyptian patients.

“…As an index for upper-body fat distribution, NC is a reliable tool to screen obesity, 5 and it has been reported to be positively associated with central obesity and overweight in a range of populations. [6][7][8] Studies have shown that NC is correlated with other anthropometric parameters (eg, WC and BMI), and NC performed well as a tool to identify MetS. 9,10 NC was also found to be related to MetS in diabetes.…”

Introduction We aimed to investigate the correlation between neck circumference (NC) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) components in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients. Methods This cross-section study included 610 patients with T2DM, including 312 males and 298 females. Height, weight, body mass index (BMI), NC, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference, and blood pressure were measured. Serum glucose, lipid, and uric acid levels were examined. The correlation between NC and anthropometric parameters and metabolic disorders was analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to determine the best NC cutoff value for predicting MetS. Results Either in male or female subjects, NC was positively correlated with BMI, WC, waist-to-hip ratio, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and serum triglyceride and uric acid levels and negatively correlated with serum HDL-C levels. NC is an independent influencing factor of female serum uric acid levels (standardized coefficient β = 0.141, t = 2.088, P = 0.038). NC of the MetS group was significantly larger than that of the non-MetS group (male 38.42±3.05 cm vs 36.20±2.90 cm, female 36.14±2.75 cm vs 34.01±2.94 cm, P < 0.001). The NC cutoff value for predicting MetS is 37.3 cm for males and 35.8cm for females. There was no difference between using cutoff points of NC and WC to recognize all MetS components in males and hyperuricemia in females (P>0.05). Conclusion NC is closely related to BMI, WC, and MetS components in T2DM. The cutoff points of NC can identify all MetS components in males and hyperuricemia in females with the same efficiency as WC.
