摘要

INTRODUCTION: Although recognition of insulin sensitivity as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease is growing, a deeper understanding of its role is impeded by the cost and complexity of currently available measures. This report evaluates previously described alternative indices of insulin sensitivity with the goal of identifying a reliable, but logistically simpler, alternative.
