ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Early detection of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is imperative to prevent the complications associated with the disease. Current guidelines for diagnosis rely on the assessment of serum glucose (fasting and post-prandial) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Insulin resistance, a phenomenon associated with T2DM, has been observed before the changes in these metrics. The homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) has been widely used to assess the degree of insulin resistance. The triglyceride-fasting glucose (TyG) index is a newer marker of insulin resistance that merits further study.Aim:
The study aimed to assess the validity of the TyG index and HOMA-IR as markers for the development of T2DM in non-obese individuals. Materials andmethods:
One hundred eight non-obese patients without T2DM were included in this prospective cohort study and followed up for eight years. Anthropometric and biochemical parameters, including fasting glucose levels, HbA1c, fasting serum insulin, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and triglycerides (TG), were measured at enrolment and eight years follow-up, and HOMA-IR and TyG index were calculated.Results:
Twenty participants out of 108 (18.5%) developed T2DM over eight years. On performing the area under the curve (AUC)-receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, TyG of >8.61 and HOMA-IR of >1.5 had the highest validity (ability) to predict new-onset T2DM in the study population (TyG AUC 0.612 (95% CI 0.514-0.705); HOMA-IR AUC 0.529 (95% CI 0.431-0.626)); however, this was not statistically significant.Conclusion:
At an eight-year follow-up, TyG and HOMA-IR were unreliable predictors of the development of T2DM in non-obese individuals.
