Pay Attention to Neck Size

A large neck may be linked with an increased risk of heart disease in both men and women, found researchers in a recent Framingham Heart Study. Those who had larger necks were also more likely to have higher levels of LDL cholesterol (the bad kind) and higher blood pressure. If you suspect you may be at risk, schedule an appointment with your doctor for a heart health screening.
