Abstract

Several prior studies suggested that neck circumference (NC) is a reliable diagnostic tool for risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its features. However, not all studies support this view. Therefore, we aimed to perform a meta-analysis to summarize the association between NC with MetS and its components in adult populations. PubMed/Medline, Web of Knowledge, and Scopus electronic databases were searched until May 31, 2017 to find relevant English-language papers. We included studies that examined the association of NC with risk of MetS, or at minimum, one of its components as outcomes. Of 2628 publications identified, 19 papers met selection criteria. We found no association between NC and MetS (odd ratio (OR): 0.73; 95% CI: 0.003, 1.47). However, there was a positive association between NC and waist circumference (WC) (r = 0.85; 95%: 0.75, 0.95; I2: 98.2%; p = 0.0001), BMI: (r:0.88; 95% CI: 0.74, 0.91, I2:97.3%), triglycerides (TG) (OR: 1.87; 95% CI: 1.60, 2.19; I2:58.4%; p = 0.03), TC (r:0.14; 95%CI: 0.05, 0.23, I2:94.1%), LDL-C (r: 0.18; 95%CI: 0.07, 0.29, I2:94.3%), hypertension (OR: 1.94; 95% CI:1.43, 2.64, I2:87.3%), systolic (r: 0.21, 95%CI: 0.19, 0.23; I2:67.1%) and diastolic blood pressures (r: 0.20, 95%CI: 0.16, 0.2...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
