HOMAIR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance.

*

For all ROC models, n 1261.

BMI Z-score (BMIZ) was used as reference in all contrast estimates and tests against waist circumference Z-score (WCZ), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), abdominal skinfold thickness Z-score (ASFZ), subscapular skinfold thickness Z-score (SSFZ), triceps skinfold thickness Z-score (TSFZ) and biceps skinfold thickness Z-score (BSFZ).

P for contrast compared the AUC of the specified ROC model v. the BMIZ model.
