The waist-height ratio is a potential anthropometric index of insulin resistance: Observations based on oral glucose tolerance test in lean, normo-glycaemic, Asian Indian males from Southern India

Aims: To correlate the waist-to-height ratio (WHt-R) with Matsuda index of the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) and other surrogate indices of fasting insulin resistance/sensitivity and to derive a cut-off value for the WHt-R in lean, normoglycaemic males from Southern India. Methods: A cohort of...
