Areas under the ROC curves for non-diabetic (A) and diabetic (B) adults (n = 2459).

AUC (95% CI), area under the ROC curve (95% Confidence Interval). *ROC regression models incorporating age as covariate. **The AUC was estimated for three ages (30, 50, and 70 years) to illustrate the performance of HOMA-IR.
