Abstract
Objective: To compare insulin surrogate indices with the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in Thai people with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Methodology: A cross-sectional study of 97 individuals with T2D was done to determine the association between HOMAIR and seven surrogate indices for insulin resistance. IR was defined as HOMA-IR ≥2.0. The indices included Waist Circumference (WC), Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR), Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR), Triglyceride-Glucose (TyG) index, estimated Glucose Disposal Rate (eGDR) calculated by WC, BMI, and WHR.
Results: A total of 97 subjects with T2D (36.1% female, mean age 61.7 ± 12.0 years, BMI 26.4 ± 3.7 kg/m2, A1C 6.9 ± 1.2%) were studied. The TyG index showed a positive association with HOMA-IR, while eGDR exhibited a negative association. TyG index had the strongest correlation with IR (r = 0.49), while various eGDR formulas showed weaker negative correlations (r = 0.12-0.25). However, subgroup analysis in individuals with T2D and coronary artery disease (CAD) showed that only eGDR-WC and eGDR-BMI demonstrated a significant correlation with triple vessel disease.
Conclusion: The TyG index was a useful and simple marker for identifying the presence of IR in Thai people with T2D. Future longitudinal studies are warranted to demonstrate the prediction value of cardiovascular outcomes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies (JAFES) is an OPEN ACCESS, internationally peer-reviewed, English language, medical and health science journal that is published in print two times a year by the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies. It shall serve as the endocrine window between the ASEAN region and the world, featuring original papers and publishing key findings from specialists and experts of endocrinology.
