Insulin resistance in lean and overweight non-diabetic Caucasian adults: Study of its relationship with liver triglyceride content, waist circumference and BMI.

Correlations of HOMA-IR HOMA-IR was highly significantly and positively correlated with hepatic triglyceride content (r:0.76;p<0.0001), and other less highly significant positive correlations were found with waist circumference (r:0.52;p<0.001), BMI (r:0.48;p<0.01), age (r:0.49;p<0.01) and serum ALT (r:0.3;p<0.03), while inverse correlation with serum adiponectin (r:0.47;p<0,01) and HDL-C (r:0.46;p<0.02) were observed.
