Every so often, I have yet another random thought about sex dimorphism in humans. As we know, the differences are all-pervasive but they can still surprise me. Welcome to today's unexpected fact.
The female neck circumference ranges from 28.4cm to 35.6cm.
Male neck circumferences range from 37.9cm to 42.9cm.
Those are for athletes. There is no crossover here; the smallest, slimmest sportsman's neck is thicker than the biggest, strongest sportswoman's.
In the general (American) populace, the biggest and fattest woman's neck can measure 41.3cm. This is matched by a larger overweight man. The largest obese man measures his neck at 47.9cm.
At the skinny end of normal, the tiniest guy's neck is 34.7cm. This is average for an overweight woman.
For what it's worth, mine's 35cm at a BMI of 24 - so I've either measured it poorly or I'm right in thinking I am of sturdy build! (I'm also quite tall ... for a woman.) Tiny guy's shirt might just fit me in the collar, but it sure as hell wouldn't go around me anywhere else.
There's also a difference in shoulder attachment size, but I didn't find data on that - just fairly vague sketch illustrations.
