large neck,or fatty celled large neck are two different things,a lot of disorders are correlative to diet and behavior,anyway,i weigh 150"5'6 and wear a 16&3/4 necksize,i little larger than norm. mens oxford style shirts are fitted at the neck and come in many sizes. go to a online tailor site and cross reference sizes(sm.,med.,lg.,etc.)with popular neck sizes if ur really interested in data.

Check shirt collars.. I think 16 or 17 is a normal.. where as 19 r 20 might be considered large..but not 100 percent sure on the sizes. It's normally overweight people that have apnea I believe, so do your own study..start measuring your patients necks

common neck sizes in men's dress shirts range from 15.5 inches to 17 inches...depends on the individual...smaller and larger are not uncommon
