Identification and characterization of metabolically benign obesity in humans. (2008, background): “In a study aimed at identifying insulin-resistant individuals, 17% of the overweight and obese subjects were found to be relatively insulin sensitive.(21) Moreover, as reviewed by Karelis et al,(22) approximately 20% of the general population can be categorized as obese but metabolically healthy.”
The Product of Fasting Glucose and Triglycerides As Surrogate for Identifying Insulin Resistance in Apparently Healthy Subjects (2008, neutral): “26,27 Among these, the hypertriglyceridemic waist and the triglycerides/HDL-C index show a lower correlation with the HOMA-IR index than the correlation of the TyG index, suggesting that the relation of triglycerides to glycemia could be a surrogate for identification of insulin resistance, without…”
The metabolic syndrome: time for a critical appraisal (2005, neutral): “[130] found that 78% of those with metabolic syndrome were insulin-resistant, but only 48% with insulin resistance had metabolic syndrome.”
