Here's one more that shows that HOMA-IR is associated with albuminuria and renal function impairment, this time in individuals living in Southeast China.
"Our study has three main findings...
"...First, an increase in the prevalence of albuminuria and renal function impairment was associated with an increase in the HOMA-IR quartile in all men and women age >45 years...
"...Second, higher HOMA-IR quartile was associated with higher prevalence of albuminuria and renal function impairment in individuals age >45 years...
"...Third, the optimal cut-off value of the HOMA-IR for detecting albuminuria and renal function impairment was lower for men aged >45 years than for men aged ≤45 years (1.60 vs 2.69)...
"...The optimal cut-off value of the HOMA-IR for detecting albuminuria and renal function impairment was estimated to be 1.86 for women aged >45 years; however, no satisfactory cut-off value could be determined for women aged ≤45 years in this study population."
