For example, a thicker skin-fold thickness relative to % fat was associated with higher levels of insulin resistance in the white UK children (although not significantly so, boys r = 0.14, girls r = 0.11, both P > 0.1) but lower insulin resistance in the Indian children (boys r = −0.21 P < 0.001, girls r = −0.15 P = 0.03). This evidence concerns the gene INS and Insulin resistance.
