Accuracy of insulin resistance indices for metabolic syndrome: a cross-sectional study in adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to determine the ability of commonly used insulin resistance indices to identify the metabolic syndrome.

Methods

183 people referred for outpatient care at the Metabolism Unit of Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre were evaluated with anthropometric, blood pressure, lipid profile, and adiponectin measurements. Glucose tolerance status was determined by 2-h 75-g oral glucose tolerance test and glycosylated hemoglobin. Definition of metabolic syndrome was based on the Joint Interim Statement of different medical associations. Twenty-one indices of insulin resistance were estimated from published equations. The accuracy of these indices was determined by area under the ROC curve (AUC) analysis. In addition, we determined an optimal cut point for eac
