Neck circumference predicts the incident cardiac events of obese hypertension with obstructive sleep apnea
NC > 40 cm may provide prognostic information for cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients, especially for obese patients and individuals with OSA, suggesting NC >40 cm should be promoted in the risk evaluation of CVD, but the potential mechanism need to explore further.
