Insulin Resistance in Association with Thyroid Function, Psychoemotional State, and Cardiovascular Risk Factors

Abstract

An increase of fasting glucose and more frequent incidence of metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases in subjects with IR are associated with the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors. There was no significant association between thyroid function and HOMA-IR. HOMA-IR cut-offs could predict the presence of T2DM.
