Abstract

Objective: to investigate the correlation of neck circumference with other anthropometric parameters, with blood pressure, capillary glycemia and with modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors present. Method: descriptive crosssectional study, with patients from a polyclinic, by applying a semi-structured questionnaire. Neck circumference was measured considering the natural position of the head, between cervical midpoint and anterior neck. Cardiovascular risk was determined by measurement of abdominal circumference and modifiable or non-modifiable risk factors. Results: positive correlations were found between neck circumference and muscle mass index, abdominal
circumference, systolic blood pressure, capillary glycemia and age, besides identifying high cardiovascular risk in
most male participants, with a tendency to be higher in individuals with hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemias. Conclusion: neck circumference was significantly correlated with body mass index, abdominal circumference,
systolic pressure, capillary glycemia and age.
