Correlation of Anthropometric Measurements with Insulin Resistance Assessed by HOMA-IR in Obese Normotensive Individuals: A Cross-Sectional Study in South India.

Background: The study aims to evaluate insulin resistance in obese individuals with normotensive diabetes using Homeostasis Model Assessment and correlate it with anthropometric measurements, highlighting the link between poor lifestyles and metabolic syndrome.

Methods: The research assessed the anthropometric, lipid, fasting blood glucose, hemoglobin A1C, serum insulin, and lipidosis profiles of 100 people using both traditional procedures and the Homeostatic model assessment (HOMA)-IR.

Results: A study of 100 participants, including 43 males and 57 females, found a significant waist-hip ratio (HOMA-IR >2.
