目的：评估超重和肥胖的方法有很多种。我们进行了一项观察性研究，测试仅通过测量颈围来识别超重或肥胖患者的方法。 研究方法和程序：测试样本和第二个验证样本包括 979 名受试者（460 名男性和 519 名女性），他们在 1998 年 1 月至 9 月期间因任何原因前往以色列南部城区的家庭医学诊所就诊。主要结果包括颈围、腰围和臀围；体重指数（BMI）；结果：皮尔逊相关系数表明颈围 (NC) 与 BMI 之间存在显着相关性（男性，r=0.83；女性，r=0.71；每个，p
Objective: There are numerous methods of assessing overweight and obesity. We undertook an observational study to test a method of identifying overweight or obese patients solely by measuring the circumference of the neck.Research Methods and Procedures: A test sample and a second validation sample included 979 subjects (460 men and 519 women), who visited a family medicine clinic in a southern Israeli urban district for any reason between the randomly chosen months of January and September 1998. Main outcome included neck, waist, and hip circumferences; body mass index (BMI); and waist:hip ratio measures.Results: Pearson's correlation coefficients indicated a significant association between neck circumference (NC) and: BMI (men, r=0.83; women, r=0.71; each, p
