A thick, muscular neck is common in bodybuilders and some athletes. It is often associated with power and strength. Some see it as part of a healthy and attractive body. A thick collar is not determined by a particular size. A thick neck can reduce the risk of injury, stress, and neck pain in general. Infants and toddlers up to 4T typically use inches. Children under the age of 12 typically use between inches.
The rule of thumb and pulse measurement also apply to other parts of the body. In other words, double the circumference of your wrist and you will have the circumference of your neck.
Twice around the neck, once around the waist. Think of the classic beauty of Audrey Hepburn for instance. Long necks are… in my opinion, swan like, and elegant. I am all for enhancing my beauty, trying to make my small eyes look bigger, or my bigger middle, look smaller but I got to admit, I strut my long neck with pride.

Many factors are responsible for causing cervical spondylosis such as forward head posture 3 , 4 , neck strain, stress, depression, sports, and occupational activities.
Symptoms include pain in the neck and arms as well as numbness in the arms and fingers. The prevalence of neck pain is around It is most common in people aged over 55 years.
It is also getting prevalent in young generation which is a major health concern. Some atypical manifestations have also been reported which include insomnia, headache, vertigo, nausea, abdominal discomfort, palpitation, amnesia, blurred vision, and tinnitus. It presents as three syndromes that are, axial neck pain, cervical radiculopathy, and cervical myelopathy.
Axial neck pain is the universal presentation due to improper posture and dysfunction in ligamentous or bony elements of the cervical spine. Cervical radiculopathy is due to impingement of intervertebral foramen while cervical myelopathy is due to narrowing of cervical spinal canal. Loss of lordotic curve also affects the cervical range of motion. Surgery is not the first choice in asymptomatic elderly patients, and conservative therapeutic strategies should be implemented as the mainstay of treatment.
A study reported that in individuals less than 30 years of age, gender, work hours and same work posture were the associated factors. Housework intensity was responsible in the age group of 30 to 45 years.
Walking displayed a protective role and should be considered as a preventive measure of cervical spondylosis. A recent Japanese study demonstrated an increase in the spinal canal diameter, height, body weight and arm span predicting decreased cases in the future owing to the improved nutritional and environmental factors.
The subjects were enrolled from orthopedic OPD. It was a case-control study including patients between the ages of 25 and 75 years. Eighty eight diagnosed cases of cervical spondylosis and eighty eight healthy controls were selected using convenient sampling technique from hospital premises. Written informed consent was obtained from both patients and controls.
Any patient with cervical tumor, cervical rib, and systemic diseases of bones, thyroid, parathyroid disorders, pregnancy, trauma, and cases with surgery of cervical spine were excluded from the study. A thorough history and detailed examination of the selected cases and controls was carried out in the orthopedic OPD, followed by a radiograph of cervical spine in the lateral view under supervision of the senior radiologist. The weight and height were also measured with the help of body weight and health scale model no ZT The subject evaluation form was filled by the principal investigator asking the questions related to complaints of neck pain, occupation and usage of electronic devices etc.
The participants were asked to stand upright with the neck in neutral position and to depress the shoulders. The neck length was measured by measuring the perpendicular distance between the external occipital protuberance and the tip of the seventh cervical vertebra using a software Synapse Fujifilm Medical Systems, Tokyo, Japan Fig.
It was cross-checked by the senior radiologist. The relative neck length 12 was calculated by dividing the neck length with the total height of the individual.
The formula is mentioned below:. X-ray cervical spine lateral view demonstrating radiological parameters for measuring neck length on Synapse. The Data obtained was entered in the subject evaluation form and analyzed using software SPSS version A total of adults 73 males and females between ages 25 and 75 years participated in the study. The mean neck length in cases and controls was The relative neck length in cases and controls was 6.
The mean weight in cases and controls was The height in cases and controls was My square shoulders and the relatively short expanse between collar bone and bust a lot of v-necks are too low-cut on me made me think I had no neck, LOL. I feel so unremarkably average. All my body measurements from calf, waist, raises, bust and neck — all regular and average.
Just barely regular, towards slightly short. Not a surprise. Turtlenecks are not flattering on me. V-neck and scoop necks are my favorite and I love an exposed collarbone. Partly due to neck length but also because I am chesty — which work in tandem towards me wanting an elongated look. I rarely wear neck lines close to neck eg crew and when I do I almost always wear an elongating necklace or a drapey scarf. I always assumed regular, but I can fit two hand widths, so a long neck, it seems.
Easily two hands. Funny though, I find boat neck my best neck line. I need to show some skin to balance things out. Do you mean the top or the bottom of it? I have VERY small, thin hands. I ask all this because I have certainly never thought of myself as having a long neck. I find V-necks the MOST flattering silhouette on me though I love turtlenecks too , and high crew necks by far the worst. All this may be because the bottom of my face is rather full, though.
I prefer v-necks, or scoop necks, probably because I have broad, square shoulders, a larger bust, and a shorter waist. Long…two hands. High neck tops are not flattering on me because shoulders and bust over-rule neck I think. I always thought my neck was short but I get exactly one hand. How variables like the size of the bust, shoulder width, the shape of your face, and the length of your hair can impact the visual preference of a neckline.
Long neck, one hand plus two to 3 fingers, but I always knew this. What I recently learned — and was shocked, I tell you, shocked! But lo, I am! Which explains. Like why my blazers never fit quite right, and I love love love blazers.
When I lift my shoulders? Perfect fit. I am actually having fits about it. The belting trend helps with that, but then I read those with short waists should be wary of belting. And then over the weekend I was looking at the kibbe method, and I see I have sloping shoulders. I have to really re-think everything now. AndiB, if your body at your hip bones will cooperate, belting low on your hips can visually lengthen you. Wildly flattering! I have a long neck, but I also have really broad shoulders.
No wonder jackets never fit!! But the broadness of my shoulders keeps the length of my neck in balance, and so I can wear pretty much any neckline. Very interesting! I never though about that. I have a very long neck coupled with a small bust. I can fit two hands and two fingers down the length of my neck before reaching my collarbone. That explains why I have always preferred turtlenecks, bateau and cowl necklines. V neck and scoop neckline tops are the worst for me because I look kind of scrawny in them.
Average size neck, but I think my sloping shoulders or maybe it is my traps make it look shorter I think. Anyway, v-necks are my friend. I thought mine was long but it is just a couple of fingers longer than average. I like high necklines and because of my small bust.
I also look best with structure at the shoulder neck point and why I usually wear a scarf or necklace. My worst neckline is a wide scoop. Regular, I think. One hand and two fingers. Turtle necks are my favourite neckline. I would love to score some beautiful sleeveless turtleneck tank tops, but they are hard to find.
Long, but I knew this. I can fit 2 hand widths easily under my chin. My frumpy bustline and shortish torso is the problem with choosing necklines though — not the length of my neck. YES to adhering to all sorts of other body type modifying variables. We are a sum of our parts. My own eyeballing puts those with a regular length neck — one hand width — into the shorter neck category for body type dressing purposes. Crewnecks are probably my favorite, although I wear plenty of turtlenecks in cold weather.
