    Introduction: Faced with increased life expectancy and population growth, there were changes in the morbidity profile, with an increase in the prevalence rates of chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), cardiovascular diseases ), neoplasias and osteo-articular diseases. Adiposity, mainly the centralized accumulation of body fat, plays a central role in the etiology of subclinical inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and insulin resistance, which are pathophysiological processes common to chronic diseases and their risk factors - hypertension, dyslipidemia and dysglycemia. In this way, the identification and measurement of adiposity was highlighted as a predictor of cardiometabolic risk. Objective: To perform a review of research on the association of neck circumference with cardiometabolic risk factors and their potential use in clinical practice. Methodology: A bibliographic survey was carried out, using the descriptors: anthropometry, neck circumference, cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors (hypertension, dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance) between 2000 and 2016. Results : The reviewed studies show the association of neck circumference with cardiometabolic risk factors, proposing different cutoff points depending on the population studied, but all reinforcing the recommendation of the use of this anthropometric measure in clinical practice. Conclusion: There is an association of neck circumference with cardiometabolic risk factors. Brazilian studies propose cut-off values ​​for adults and adolescents of low and medium cardiovascular risk. From the point of view of clinical practice, neck circumference is a good anthropometric measure that identifies an increase in cardiometabolic risk. However, longitudinal studies are still necessary to better evidence the cause-effect relationship and confirm the cut-off points of the neck circumference that would be predictors of diabetes and cardiovascular events.
