Aims: To investigate the association between neck circumference (NC) and cardiovascular risk factors in children and adolescents seen in outpatient clinic in a university hospital in the city of Recife-PE.
Methods: Sociodemographic, anthropometric, biochemical and lifestyle data were collected. The sample consisted of convenience, composed of children and adolescents monitored at the nutrition / pediatrics clinic who agreed to participate in the research, from April to September 2018.
Results: The sample consisted of 144 patients with a mean age of 11.0 ± 3.0 years, the majority being male (51.4%). 37.6% of the patients had elevated NC, most of them male (41.1%). A large percentage of patients with high screen time (71.5%) were seen. There was a significant association between NC and nutritional status, 24.8% of those with excess weight presented NC elevation. Positive correlation was found between NC with body mass index and lipid profile.
Conclusion: It was observed that there is a significant association between NC and nutritional status, corroborating with the literature, which suggests that such a measure can be a useful tool to identify overweight or obesity and an important predictor of cardiovascular health problems, since it also correlates with biochemical parameters.
