Figure 2.
ROC curves for individuals with insulin resistance (i.e. HOMA-IR index > 2.74). (A) The AUC for LAR is significantly higher than those for leptin (p < 0.0001) and adiponectin (p = 0.0006). (B) In nonobese individuals, the AUC for LAR is significantly higher than that for leptin (p = 0.0121). (C) In obese individuals, the AUC for LAR is also significantly higher than that for leptin (p = 0.032). AUC, area under curves; CI, confidence interval; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; LAR, leptin-to-adiponectin ratio.
