Validity assessment of the single-point insulin sensitivity estimator (spise) for diagnosis of cardiometabolic risk in post-pubertal hispanic adolescents.

ABSTRACT: Insulin measurements are not advised for cardiometabolic risk screening in large groups. Here we assessed the accuracy of the single-point insulin sensitivity estimator (SPISE) to diagnose cardiometabolic risk in Chilean adolescents. In 678 post-pubertal adolescents (52% males, M(SD) age = 16.8 (0.2) years), height, weight, waist circumference, blood lipids, glucose, insulin, and blood pressure were measured. BMI, HOMA-IR, and SPISE were estimated; HOMA-IR values ≥ 2.6 were considered insulin resistance (IR). Metabolic syndrome (MetS) was defined with the joint IDF/AHA/NHBLI standard. Using receiver operating characteristic curves, we obtained optimal SPISE cutpoints for IR and MetS diagnosis. The prevalence of MetS and IR was 8.2% and 17.1%, respectively. In males, the optimal cutoff for
