Abstract

We conducted a comparative study of the calculated indices of insulin resistance HOMA-R, Caro, FGIR, and QUICKI in 29 healthy volunteers (mean age 26.21±0.93 years) with normal body mass index (23.34±0.55 kg/m2). Among the used methods for insulin resistance assessment, QUICKI is the only method that has characteristics required for the diagnostic criterium: low variability coefficient, 100% reproducibility, and minimum coefficient of variation.

Keywords: Caro; FGIR; HOMA-R; QUICKI; insulin resistance.
