Methods used to calculate insulin resistance.
| Method | Parameters | Formula | Cut-off values (range) | Studies using the method |
| HOMA-IR | FPG, FPI | (FPG (mmol/L) FPI (mU/L))/22.5 | 2.1–4.0 | [14–27] | FPI | FPI | NA | 9.85–23.7 μU/mL | [17, 19, 20, 28–31] | QUICKI | FPG, FPI | 1/[ (mU/L) + (mg/dL)] | 0.33–0.35 | [17, 23] | FGIR | FPG, FPI | (FPG [mg/dL]/FPI [mU/L]) | 7 | [23] | HOMA2 | FPG, FPI | Computer model: HOMA2-calculator: http://www.dtu.ox.ac.uk/homa | 2 | [28] | McAuley index | FPI, triglycerides | (2.63 − 0.28 − 0.31 ) | 6.3 | [28] |
