Association between Neck Circumference and Subclinical Atherosclerosis among Chinese Steelworkers: A Cross-Sectional Survey
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH(2022)
摘要
The purpose of this study was to determine whether neck circumference (NC) is associated with subclinical atherosclerosis among Chinese steelworkers in North China. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among steelworkers in northern China (n = 3467). Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) was measured at the distal wall of the common carotid artery proximal to the bifurcation point along a plaque-free segment 10 mm long on each side by B-ultrasound. The mean of the common CIMT was used bilaterally in this study. In the cross-sectional analysis, large NC was associated with the presence of abnormal CIMT. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between NC tertiles and CIMT. The multivariable-adjusted odds ratio was 1.76 (95% CI: 1.40 to 2.22; p for trend <0.001) for the highest tertile versus the lowest tertile and was 1.07 (95% CI: 1.04 to 1.10; p < 0.001) per 1 standard deviation increment in NC. Among steelworkers in North China, relatively large NC level is associated with elevated odds of subclinical atherosclerosis.
