[Objective]: Early detection of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, such as obesity, is crucial to prevent adverse long-term effects on individuals' health. Therefore, the aims were: (1) to explore the robustness of neck circumference (NC) as a predictor of CVD and examine its association with numerous anthropometric and body composition indices and (2) to release sex and age-specific NC cut-off values to classify youths as overweight/obese. [Design]: Cross-sectional study. [Setting]: 23 primary schools and 17 secondary schools from Spain. [Participants]: 2198 students (1060 girls), grades 1-4 and 7-10. [Measures]: Pubertal development, anthropometric and body composition indices, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP, r...
