Abstract
Objectives
This study aims to establish cut-off points for lipid accumulation product and tri-ponderal mass index to identify insulin resistance (IR) in Brazilian postpubertal adolescents.
Methods
We conducted an analysis of postpubertal adolescents enrolled in the national school-based cross-sectional study of cardiovascular risks in adolescents (ERICA-BRAZIL) from February 2013 to November 2014. IR was defined by homeostatic model assessment index for IR values ≥2.32 for girls and ≥2.87 for boys. The analysis involved calculating the area under receiver operating characteristic curves, sensitivity values, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and positive and negative likelihood ratios to determine reference values of indices with optimal performance.
Results
The sample was comprised of 14 026 adolescents, with 25.3% (95% confidence intervals: 24.6%–26.1%) exhibiting IR, more prevalent among girls and overweight individuals. The ideal lipid accumulation product cut-off points associated with IR were 13.5 for the total population, 13.8 for male adolescents, and 13.5 for girls. Regarding tri-ponderal mass index, the optimal cut-off values for identifying IR were 14.1, 13.9, and 14.5 kg/m³ in the general sample, boys, and girls, respectively.
Conclusions
This study establishes cut-off points for adiposity indices, demonstrating their effectiveness in screening for IR in postpubertal Brazilian adolescents.
期刊介绍:
Nutrition has an open access mirror journal Nutrition: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Founded by Michael M. Meguid in the early 1980''s, Nutrition presents advances in nutrition research and science, informs its readers on new and advancing technologies and data in clinical nutrition practice, encourages the application of outcomes research and meta-analyses to problems in patient-related nutrition; and seeks to help clarify and set the research, policy and practice agenda for nutrition science to enhance human well-being in the years ahead.
