Key result
Interleukin-6 levels were not significantly correlated with the incidence of insulin resistance in obese adolescents (b = -0.329, P=0.309).
Why the study?
Is there a correlation between IL-6 levels and insulin resistance in obese adolescents?
Population

No support for IL-6 as marker of insulin resistance in obese adolescents; leaves open its role pending longitudinal studies.

Is there a correlation between IL-6 levels and insulin resistance in obese adolescents?
Effect estimate: b = -0.329
p-value: p=0.309
This study found no significant correlation between IL-6 levels and insulin resistance in obese adolescents.
Takumansang et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Obesity. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels was evaluated on Correlation between IL-6 levels and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR >2.77) (b = -0.329, p=0.309). Interleukin-6 levels were not significantly correlated with the incidence of insulin resistance in obese adolescents (b = -0.329, P=0.309).
