ABSTRACT
The reliability of neck circumference measurement as an assessment tool for older adults requiring long-term care remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability of neck circumference measurement in older adults requiring long-term care, and the effect of edema on measurement error. Two physical therapists measured the neck circumference. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman analyses were performed to examine the reliability of neck circumference measurement. Correlation analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between edema values (extracellular water/total body water) and neck circumference measurement difference. For inter-rater reliability of neck circumference measurement, the overall ICC (2,1) was 0.98. The upper and lower limits of the difference between examiners ranged from -0.9 to 1.2 cm. There was no association between edema values and neck circumference measurement error. Thus, measurement of the neck circumference in older adults requiring long-term care is a reliable assessment tool, with a low error rate, even in older adults with edema.
