ABSTRACT Objective: Recently, a new obesity index (A Body Shape Index, ABSI) based on waist circumference (WC) was developed, and high ABSI corresponds to a more central concentration of body volume. It is well known that central obesity is closely linked with insulin resistance (IR). Therefore, our stu...

Assessment of the ability of the triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio to discriminate insulin resistance among Caribbean-born black persons with and without Hispanic ethnicity

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research was to determine if the triglyceride (TG) to high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (TG/HDL) ratio has similar utility for discriminating insulin resistance in Caribbean-born black persons with and without Hispanic ethnicity. METHODS: Serum lipids, glucose an...
