ON HOMA-IR (HOMEOSTASIS
MODEL ASSESSMENT OF _
INSULIN RESISTANCE)
, Definition & description
HOMA-IR (Homeostasis Model
Assessment of Insulin Resistance) is a
method used to estimate insulin
resistance in individuals. Insulin
resistance is a condition in which the
body’s cells become less responsive to
the effects of insulin, leading to higher
blood glucose levels. The HOMA-IR
model is widely used in clinical
research and healthcare settings as an
indirect measure of insulin resistance,
helping in the assessment and
management of conditions such as
type 2 diabetes, obesity, and metabolic
syndrome.
