  "abstract": "Introduction: Hypertension is a global public health concern, affec-ting not only adults but also young university students. Studies have shown that waist, neck, and wrist circumferences are associated with blood pressure. However, while this relationship has been ex-plored in children, adolescents, and adults, research focusing on young university students remains limited.Objective: To assess the influence of neck, waist, and wrist circum-ferences on systolic and diastolic blood pressure among young uni-versity students. Methods: A correlational-predictive design was used in 335 young university students of both sexes. Neck, waist, and wrist circumfe-rences and blood pressure were measured. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression models. Results: Neck circumference was found to be the only significant predictor of systolic blood pressure (β = 0.227, p = .013), and waist circumference of diastolic blood pressure (β = 0.236, p = .003). Discussion and conclusions: Neck, waist, and wrist circumferences might constitute a cost-effective tool in routine clinical settings for identifying the risk of developing hypertension.",
