| Abstract |
The distribution of adipose tissue has been evaluated in relation to cardiovascular risk factors and biochemical components of the metabolic syndrome. Neck circumference (NC) has been shown to have a strong relationship with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and may be a novel indicator of CVD. The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of CVD events in cohorts with different NC distributions, and to correlate NC with future CVD events and relative mortality. A prospective cohort study was performed on 12,151 high-risk cardiology outpatients from 2004 until 2014. Anthropometric parameters like body mass index, NC, waist circumference, and hip circumference were measured at baseline and follow-up and compared in different cohorts with high, medium, and low NC. Fatal and non-fatal CVD events were compared in the follow-up study, and survival analysis was conducted. Independent Chi-square tests were performed to compare the incidence of CVD events and mortality among the cohorts and analyze the interactions. The subjects comprised of 6696 women and 5819 men who completed a mean 8.8-year follow-up. All of the participants had two or more CVD risk factors at baseline. At the end of the study, 4049 CVD events had occurred in 2304 participants. The incidence of non-fatal CVD events was 14.08, 16,65, and 25.21 % in the low-NC, medium-NC, and high-NC cohorts, respectively (p < 0.001). The all-cause mortality was 9.77, 11.93, and 19.31 %, and CVD mortality, 4.00, 6.29, and 8.01 %, respectively (p < 0.001). Compared with baseline, the number of CVD risk factors in participants had increased from 2.6, 3.0, and 3.4 to 3.5, 4.1, and 4.7 in the low-, medium-, and high-NC cohorts (34, 36, and 38 %), respectively. The event-free survival rate was 95.32, 80.15, and 75.47 %, respectively. A higher NC indicated a higher incidence of future fatal and non-fatal CVD events and all-cause mortality in both male and female high-risk participants. CVD risk factors increased more in the higher NC group. NC as a novel indicator of CVD showed good predictive ability for CVD events and mortality in a high-risk population. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 February 2021.
All research outputs
#2,947,511
of 22,854,458 outputs
Outputs from Lipids in Health and Disease
#203
of 1,448 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#48,778
of 298,823 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Lipids in Health and Disease
#6
of 35 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,854,458 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,448 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 298,823 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 35 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
