Comparing Surrogate Indexes for Insulin Resistance as Predictors of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D)
Puntos clave
This research aims to identify which surrogate measures of insulin resistance best predict the onset of type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Comparison of surrogate measures based on Oral Glucose Tolerance Tests (OGTTs) and fasting insulin levels.
Analysis of predictive performance of each measure for T2D diagnosis.
Surrogate measures based on OGTTs are the most effective in predicting T2D.
Fasting insulin measures outperform those that do not account for insulin.
Resumen
Surrogate measures based on OGTTs are best for predicting T2D, while measures based on fasting insulin perform better than those that do not measure insulin.
