Neck circumference as a predictor of metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance and low-grade systemic inflammation in children: The ACFIES study

The current study aims to evaluate the association between neck circumference (NC) and several cardio-metabolic risk factors, to compare it with well-established anthropometric indices, and to determine the cut-off point value of NC for predicting children at increased risk of metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance and low-grade systemic inflammation.
