Overview

Observational analysis reveals obesity predicts insulin resistance in adolescent girls, highlighting BMI and WHtR as key indicators.

Key Points

  • Obesity strongly predicts insulin resistance in adolescent girls, emphasizing the need for early intervention.
  • BMI and WHtR effectively predicted insulin resistance indices with significant AUC values during ROC analysis.
  • Anthropometric indicators like BMI, WHR, and WHtR correlate strongly with insulin resistance, while lipid profiles do not.
  • The study identified acanthosis as a potential clinical marker for assessing metabolic health in adolescents.
