Insulin resistance determined by Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA) and associations with metabolic syndrome among Chinese children and teenagers

Insulin resistance determined by Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA) and associations with metabolic syndrome among Chinese children and teenagers

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to assess the association between the degree of insulin resistance and the different components of the metabolic syndrome among Chinese children and adolescents. Moreover, to determine the cut-off values for homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) at MS risk. METHODS 3203 Chinese children aged 6 to 18 years were recruited. Anthropometric...

association between homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (homa-ir) and components of metabolic syndrome in young chinese men

background: to investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (mets) in young chinese population and assess the as­sociation between homa-ir and different components of mets in young chinese men. methods: overall 5576 young chinese subjects (age range [19-44 yr], 3636 men) were enrolled in, who visited our health care center for a related health checkup from march to december 2008. the intern...

Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) in the Diagnosis of Insulin Resistance and Prediabetes

Type 2 diabetes mellitus consists of metabolic disturbances characterised mainly characterized by hyperglycemia which usually result from the combination of resistance to insulin action, inadequate insulin secretion, and excessive or inappropriate glucagon secretion. In clinical practice its very difficult to establish how much part of this metabolic disturbances is due to lack of insulin and h...
