INS and Insulin resistance: Insulin values (n = 96) showed wide dispersion (2.40–129.40 μU/mL, mean 19.78 ± 15.83 μU/mL), while the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR index, n = 96) ranged from 0.60 to 25.25 (mean 4.21 ± 3.26), indicating that a substantial proportion of participants presented with insulin resistance.
