Key result
In short-sleeping obese adults, neck circumference, respiratory disturbance index, and adiponectin together accounted for 37.6% of the variability in metabolic syndrome severity (P < 0.001).

Neck circumference is a significant predictor of metabolic syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea in short-sleeping obese individuals, suggesting its potential utility as an additional screening metric.
Cizza et al. (2014) conducted a cross-sectional in Obesity and short sleep duration (n=120). Neck circumference was evaluated on Variability in metabolic syndrome score (R2 = 0.376, p=<0.001). In short-sleeping obese adults, neck circumference, respiratory disturbance index, and adiponectin together accounted for 37.6% of the variability in metabolic syndrome severity (P < 0.001).
