Comparison of eight insulin-independent indices for identifying insulin resistance in Chinese young and middle-aged adults without diabetes: favorable performance of METS-IR and TyG-BMI
Background Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) mainly reflects basal IR, whereas dynamic measures such as the Matsuda index are less practical. Methods This cross-sectional study evaluated eight non-insulin-based metabolic indices [the metabolic score for insulin resistance [METS-IR], triglycer...
