In our cohort, the correlation between QUICKI and HOMA index of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was −0.99 [ 22].
In this study, the shape of the LV was more spherical in patients with a high HOMA index than in those with a low HOMA index.
IR was defined as having HOMA-IR in the upper quartile of the HOMA index.
In the current study CFR better correlated to the HOMA index than to acute glycaemia and/or insulinemia and in the multivariable model including admission glycaemia, the HOMA index remained an independent CFR predictor.
Both drugs significantly elevated HOMA index for insulin resistance.
Insulin resistance was evaluated using a homeostasis model assessment, the HOMA index.
Results: HOMA index, parameters of body composition, blood pressure, triglyceride and HDL cholesterol were significantly improved.
Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that HOMA index and percentage WR of 123I-MIBG were associated with WML patients.
HOMA index reflecting insulin resistance was three time higher in OHS than in eucapnic obese.
BMI: body mass index, HOMA index: homeostasis model assessment index.
HOMA index ≥2.77 was considered as IR presence.
