Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Metabolic syndrome is an emerging disease worldwide, it is a significant cause of increased morbidity and mortality in patients. Metabolic syndrome leads to diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia and obesity; together all this forms the leading cause for cardiovascular disease as well. So we study neck circumference as a simple, quick and comfortable method for early detection of metabolic syndrome. Results: Neck circumference was seen in 37 patient of metabolic syndrome. Neck circumference in male was significant, mean of39.27 cm, while in female it was mean of 28.3cm. Thus neck circumference should be considered as significant indicator of metabolic syndrome in population.
