Abstract
Objectives
Insulin resistance determined by Homeostasis Model of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) has been associated with functional decline in non-diabetic older subjects. However, insulin is not routinely assessed. The study evaluated the predictive value of non-insulin-dependent IR surrogates on functional decline in non-diabetic older men and women.
Design and participants
Prospective cohort study over 5 years. The study included 615 older participants from the Toledo Study of Healthy Aging.
Methods
Frailty was assessed by the Frailty Trait Scale-5 (FTS-5) at baseline and after 5 years follow-up. 193 subjects experienced functional decline (2.5-point reduction in the FTS-5 score). Multivariate regression models analysed the effect of five described IR surrogates on functional decline considering potential confounders.
Results
Among evaluated IR proxies, triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) and HOMA-IR were significantly associated with an increased risk of functional decline (odd ratio (95% confidence interval) TyG-BMI: 1.16 (1.05, 1.28), p = 0.0035 and HOMA-IR: 1.59 (1.15, 2.21), p = 0.0056) among all participants. When stratified by gender, HOMA-IR was related to functional decline in men [2.02 (1.13, 3.59), p = 0.0173] and TyG-BMI in women [1.19 (1.05, 1.35), p = 0.0057].
Conclusions
Only TyG-BMI index mimics the predictive capacity of insulin-based IR marker. The predictive ability of IR indexes is gender-specific, being TyG-BMI the only index able to predict functional decline in women and HOMA-IR in men.
期刊介绍:
There is increasing scientific and clinical interest in the interactions of nutrition and health as part of the aging process. This interest is due to the important role that nutrition plays throughout the life span. This role affects the growth and development of the body during childhood, affects the risk of acute and chronic diseases, the maintenance of physiological processes and the biological process of aging. A major aim of "The Journal of Nutrition, Health & Aging" is to contribute to the improvement of knowledge regarding the relationships between nutrition and the aging process from birth to old age.
