Anatomical parameters of the neck in age and gender aspects. Clinical significance

In modern scientific literature, issues of neck anthropometry are widely discussed, taking into account gender, age, and clinical and anatomical aspects of the neck. The demand for creating a database of normative anthropometric indicators of the neck is due to the needs of plastic and reconstructive surgery. The aim of the study was to study the anatomical characteristics of the neck of men and women of different age periods. According to the method of A. A. Vorobyov et al. (2018) collummetry was performed on 384 people (253 women and 131 men) aged 17-68 years, who do not have diseases of the neck. The shape of the neck was determined according to the coefficient of proportionality of the width of the neck T. P. Tikhonova, E. V. Zakhvatova (2006). The study obtained a database of normative anatomical indicators of the neck in men and women of different age periods. Significant sex differences in neck sizes were established: back length, width, sagittal size and neck circumference of men above the corresponding sizes of women (p
