Correlation of Insulin Resistance with Anthropometric Measures and Blood Pressure in Adolescents
BACKGROUND Blood pressure is directly related to body mass index, and individuals with increased waist circumference have higher risk of developing hypertension, insulin resistance, and other metabolic changes, since adolescence. OBJECTIVE to evaluate the correlation of blood pressure with insulin resistance, waist circumference and body mass index in adolescents. METHODS Cross-section stud...
متن کاملAssociations between insulin and glucose concentrations and anthropometric measures of fat mass in Australian adolescents
BACKGROUND One of the most serious, yet common co-morbidities of obesity is insulin resistance, which if untreated may progress to type 2 diabetes. This paper describes the insulin and glucose concentration distributions, the prevalence of elevated insulin, the associations between insulin and body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and fat mass index in a repre...
متن کاملPredicting insulin resistance in children: anthropometric and metabolic indicators.
OBJECTIVE To predict insulin resistance in children based on anthropometric and metabolic indicators by analyzing the sensitivity and specificity of different cutoff points. METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out of 109 children aged 7 to 11 years, 55 of whom were obese, 23 overweight and 31 well-nourished, classified by body mass index (BMI) for age. Measurements were taken to deter...
متن کاملPrediction of insulin resistance with anthropometric measures: lessons from a large adolescent population
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe the minimum number of anthropometric measures that will optimally predict insulin resistance (IR) and to characterize the utility of these measures among obese and nonobese adolescents. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS SIX ANTHROPOMETRIC MEASURES (SELECTED FROM THREE CATEGORIES: central adiposity, weight, and body composition) were measured from 1298...
متن کاملInsulin resistance in obese children and adolescents.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the presence of insulin resistance and its association with other metabolic abnormalities in obese children and adolescents. METHODS Retrospective study of 220 children and adolescents aged 5-14 years. Anthropometric measurements were performed (weight, height, and waist circumference) and clinical (gender, age, pubertal stage, and degree of obesity) and biochemical (glu...
