Abstract
Research Design and Methods Data from 2,716 subjects (1,421 male, 1,295 female; age range, 10-20 years) in Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey IV (2007–2009) were evaluated. The reference values of insulin and HOMA-IR of normal weight subjects were made according to sex, age and weight status. Insulin resistance was defined as HOMA-IR > 95 percentile. The odds ratios of metabolic syndrome and its components were assessed based on insulin resistance state.
Highlights
This study was to examine the distribution of insulin and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and decide insulin resistance cut off of Korean children and adolescents
Overweight and obese subjects had higher HOMA-IR compared with subjects of normal weight (3.83 [95% CI 3.64–4.02], 5.16 [95% CI 4.70–5.62], and 2.66 [2.62–2.71], respectively)
Subject with insulin resistance had more metabolic syndrome and its components
Summary
Reference of serum insulin level and prevalence of insulin resistance of Korean children and adolescents Jung Sub Lim*, Ju Hee Seo, Jun Ah Lee, Dong Ho Kim From 7th APPES Biennial Scientific Meeting Nusa Dua, Bali. Objective This study was to examine the distribution of insulin and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and decide insulin resistance cut off of Korean children and adolescents.
