Description
Esra Suay Timurkaan and co-authors compare two insulin resistance scores in a 2026 review of obese adults. One score, HOMA-IR, comes from fasting blood tests, while METS-IR also uses body size and blood fats. The team asked which score tracks illness burden better across age groups.
Records covered 481 adults with body mass index at or above 30, grouped into four age bands. The two scores moved together only moderately, and METS-IR, unlike HOMA-IR, rose with the number of chronic conditions a person carried. Both scores separated diabetes and high blood pressure poorly on their own, so the authors advise using them as supporting clues rather than stand-alone tests.
