Abstract: The present study identified that total and central body adiposity and shorter time spent in lively activities was positively associated with insulin resistance, evaluated through the triglyceride-glucose index. The cutoff point of 7.88 may be used in this population for insulin resistance risk screening, but caution is required when using it in other populations.

“…VAI and LAP combine both anthropometric and metabolic variables to evaluate, respectively, adiposity dysfunction and lipid overaccumulation, whereas TyG includes only metabolic variables. TyG is among the most mentioned insulin resistance indices in the literature [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. TyG has also been suggested as a promising biomarker for glycaemic control in people with type 2 diabetes [30], even better than HOMA [29].…”

“…Two indexes were used as a surrogate of insulin resistance (IR): Homeostasis model analysis—insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index, defined as ([fasting plasma insulin (mU/L) × fasting plasma glucose (mg/dL)]/405) [ 21 ]; the cutoff point for pathological IR was set at the 97.5th percentile of the HOMA-IR distribution in a representative group of Italian healthy children and adolescents grouped by sex and pubertal stage [ 22 ]. Triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index, calculated as (ln [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting plasma glucose (mg/dL)/2]) [ 23 , 24 ]; the cutoff point for pathological IR was set at 7.88 [ 20 , 25 ]. …”

“…Insulin resistance was calculated with the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (14). Triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) was also evaluated using the formula (ln[fasting triglycerides (mg/dl) × fasting plasma glucose (mg/dl)/2]) (15), as a surrogate marker of IR and predictor of diabetes.…”
