Neck circumference associated with arterial blood pressures and hypertension: A cross-sectional community-based study in northern Han Chinese

Abstract Although several studies have investigated the associations of neck circumference (NC) with arterial blood pressures (BPs) and hypertension, no such studies have been conducted among Northern Chinese population. Between April and June 2015, a total of 2631 subjects aged ≥35 years old were r...
