目的:观察不同胰岛素抵抗( IR)计算指数评价超重及肥胖人群中IR的准确性,寻找超重及肥胖人群更为理想的判定临界值。方法研究对象为406例超重及肥胖的非糖尿病患者,计算纳入者的稳态模型胰岛素抵抗指数(HOMA-IR)、定量胰岛素敏感性检测指数(QUICKI)、McAuley指数(McA),以空腹胰岛素≥12 mIU/L为IR金标准,评价各指数判定IR的准确性。结果406例超重及肥胖者中,IR114例、非IR292例。以HOMA-IR≥2.6判定IR时,IR 138例、非IR 268例,其灵敏度为94.74%、特异度为89.73%,约登指数为0.84;以HOMA-IR≥2.68作为判定切点时,其灵敏度为93.3%、特异度为92.9%,约登指数为0.86。以QUICKI≤0.339判定IR时,IR 210例、非IR196例,其灵敏度为100%、特异度为67.12%,约登指数为0.67;以QUICKI≤0.335作为判定切点时,其灵敏度为79.8%、特异度为99.0%,约登指数为0.79。以McA≤5.8判定IR时,IR 403例、非 IR3例,其灵敏度为98.25%、特异度为0.34%,约登指数为-1.41;以McA≤4.29作为判定切点时,其灵敏度为78.0%、特异度为82.9%,约登指数为0.61。结论在超重及肥胖人群中HOMA-IR能更准确地评估IR;在这部分人群中判定IR时应考虑肥胖及脂代谢对胰岛素水平的影响作用,适当调整判定临界值,以便能提高评价IR的准确性。
Objective To observe the accuracy of several indices in assessing insulin resistance ( IR ) in the over-weight/obesity population and to find more desirable cut-off point of IR .Methods This study involved 406 overweight/o-besity participants without overt diabetes .Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index, Quanti-tative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) and McAuley index (McA index) were calculated and compared with fast-ing insulin levels ( FINS) (≥12 mIU/L, which was the reference criteria for determined IR ) .Results Of the 406 partic-ipants, 114 cases of IR and 292 cases of non-IR were found.When using HOMA-IR≥2.6 as the cut-off point of IR, there were 138 cases of IR and 268 cases of non-IR.The sensitivity was 94.74%and the specificity was 89.73%.Youden index was 0.84.When using HOMA-IR≥2.68 as the cut-off point, the sensitivity and specificity was 93.3%and 92.9%, re-spectively.Youden index was elevated to 0.86.When using QUICKI≤0.339 as the cut-off point of IR, there were 210 ca-ses of IR and 196 cases of non-IR.The sensitivity was 100%and the specificity was 67.12%.Youden index was 0.67. When using QUICKI≤0.335 as the cut-off point, the sensitivity and specificity was 79.8% and 99.0%, respectively. Youden index was increased to 0.79.When using McA≤5.8 as the cut-off point of IR, there were 403 cases of IR and 3 cases of non-IR.The sensitivity was 98.25%and the specificity was only 0.34%.Youden index was -1.41.When using McA≤4.29 as the cut-off point, the sensitivity and specificity was 78.0% and 82.9%, respectively.Youden index was increased to 0.61.Conclusions HOMA-IR is more accurate in detecting IR in overweight/obese population.The thresh-olds of these three indices in overweight/obese population should be adjusted appropriately considering the influence of obe -sity and lipid metabolism on insulin levels to increase the accuracy in evaluating IR .
