Change of neck circumference in relation to visceral fat area: a Chinese community-based longitudinal cohort study

W. Cao, Y. Xu, et al.

This study reveals a significant link between changes in neck circumference and visceral fat area in a Chinese community over 2.1 years. Individuals with a more than 5% increase in neck circumference had 1.26 times the visceral adipose tissue compared to those with stable measurements.
