Abstract：Objective To explore the feasibility and value of neck circumference in predicting the metabolic syn-drome ( MS) . Methods 702 selected cases were admitted to Shijiazhuang First Hospital during January 2013 and October 2014 and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and neck circumference and waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein protein cholesterol were measured, analyzed and compared. Results Among 702 cases in this study, 351 cases were male and 351 were female, 127 cases were of abnormal neck circumference, and 575 cases were normal. Statistics showed that waist circumference, blood pressure, FBG, TG, HDL-C of comparison ab-normal neck circumference group and normal neck circumference group was statistically significant ( P<0. 05 ); The gender and blood pressure of comparison abnormal neck circumference group and normal neck circumference group were not statisti-cally significant (P>0. 05). In this study, 12 cases of MS were confirmed, accounting for 1. 7%, risk of metabolic syndrome of abnormal neck circumference was 1. 4 times higher than that of the normal neck. Conclusion MS related indicators in-crease with increase of neck circumference, which can be a predictor of MS.
