OBJECTIVE
We aimed to study the correlation between neck circumference (NC) and anthropometric adiposity indicators, and to determine cut-off points of NC for both sexes to identify elevated central adiposity in schoolchildren in western Mexico.
DESIGN
Cross-sectional study.
SETTING
Rural settings in western México.ParticipantsChildren from a convenience sample of six schools in Acatlán, Jalisco, Mexico (n 1802).
RESULTS
NC showed a strong positive correlation with all anthropometric adiposity indicators in both sexes, which were notably higher in boys regardless of age. Noteworthy, waist circumference displayed the highest significant correlation when analysed by both age and sex. As age increased, NC cut-off points to identify elevated central adiposity ranged from 25·7 to 30·1 cm for girls and from 27·5 to 31·7 cm for boys.
CONCLUSIONS
NC could be used as a simple, inexpensive and non-invasive indicator for central obesity assessment in Mexican schoolchildren.
目的
本研究旨在探讨颈围（NC）与人体肥胖指标的相关性，并确定男女颈围切点值，以识别墨西哥西部学龄儿童中心性肥胖。
设计
横断面研究。
地点
墨西哥哈利斯科州阿卡坦的农村地区。
参与者
来自墨西哥阿卡坦六所学校的便利样本中的儿童（n=1802）。
结果
颈围与两性所有人体肥胖指标均呈正相关，且不论年龄，男孩的相关性更高。值得注意的是，腰围在按年龄和性别分析时相关性最高。随着年龄的增长，女性颈围切点值从 25.7 至 30.1cm 不等，男性颈围切点值从 27.5 至 31.7cm 不等。
结论
颈围可作为评估墨西哥学龄儿童中心性肥胖的一种简单、经济、非侵入性指标。
