HOMA INSULIN RESISTANCE INDEX
Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) is a test that measures insulin resistance. It’s used in clinical practice and epidemiological studies to help identify people who may have type 2 diabetes.
How it’s calculated
- HOMA-IR is calculated using fasting blood sugar and insulin levels
- The formula is: Fasting serum insulin (μU/ml) × fasting plasma glucose (mmol l)/22.5
- The threshold HOMA-IR level that indicates insulin resistance varies by study
What it’s used for
- HOMA-IR is used to estimate insulin resistance, which is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease
- It’s also used to predict the risk of metabolic syndrome and inflammatory disease
Who it’s used for
- HOMA-IR has been used in clinical and epidemiological studies of adults
- It’s also been used in studies of adolescents
Other considerations- HOMA-IR is a biomarker for type 2 diabetes
- The role of HOMA-IR in non-diabetics is less clear
- HOMA-IR levels can vary depending on age, gender, and other factors
