BACKGROUND Visceral obesity is positively related to insulin resistance. The nature of the relationship between waist circumference and insulin resistance has not been known in Japanese populations. This study examined the relationship between waist circumference and insulin resistance and evaluated the optimal cutoff point for waist circumference in relation to insulin resistance in middle-age...
متن کاملUse of waist circumference to predict insulin resistance: retrospective study.
We analysed a sample of 2746 healthy volunteers (798 male) from retrospectively collected data. Ages ranged from 18 years to 72 years, body mass index (kg/m) from 18 to 60, and waist circumferences from 65 cm to 150 cm (see table A on bmj.com for further data).
