Relationship Between Neck Circumference, Central and Overall Obesity Indices, and the Severity of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

2025Open accessAlexandria University

Abstract

NC is a promising, simple, cost-effective anthropometric measure that can be applied in obesity screening programs. Its strong correlation with CAD severity suggests potential utility as a complementary risk assessment tool. Given its ease of measurement, NC may be considered for incorporation into routine clinical practice.
