Methods: HOMA, HOMA2, QUICKI, Matsuda index were calculated using data obtained from medical history of 130 female subjects - patients of the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases, in whom oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with parallel insulin concentrations assessment was performed.
Results: IR correlated positively with body mass index (BMI) in the entire study group, regardless which of four analyzed IR indices was used.
