Table 1. Clinical, anthropometric, and analytical characteristics (units) according to insulin resistance classification.
| HOMA-IR<2 | 2<HOMA-IR<4 | HOMA-IR>4 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| N | 24 | 9 | 6 |
| Age (years) | 43 ± 9.175 | 50.11 ± 14.51 | 57.83 ± 16.62 a |
| Sex (male/female) | 12/12 | 3/6 | 3/3 |
| BMI (kg/m2) | 22.78 ± 1.71 | 23.46 ± 2.14 | 22.84 ± 1.02 |
| Insulin (μIU/ml) | 5.53 ± 1.80 | 10.49 ± 2.56 b | 22.02 ± 6.63 b |
| HOMA-IR | 1.28 ± 0.45 | 2.69 ± 0.68 b | 5.45 ± 1.86 b |
| DBP(mmHg) | 77.83 ± 12.96 | 79.33 ± 8.67 | 84.33 ± 14.98 |
| SBP (mmHg) | 117.50 ± 17.65 | 129.33 ± 23.24 | 131.67 ± 25.34 |
| Glucose (mg/dl) | 93.71± 11.05 | 104.00 ± 11.43 | 99.50 ± 8.19 |
| ZAG (mg/l) | 43.23 ± 6.48 | 42.98 ± 9.90 | 43.13 ± 5.60 |
The results are given as the mean±SD. BMI: body mass index; HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index; DBP: Diastolic Blood Pressure; SBP: Systolic Blood Pressure. a and b indicate significant differences between the means of the different groups:
a: P<0.05
b: P<0.01(ANOVA or Student´s t where appropriate).
