Correlation analysis between clinical features and HOMA-IR values. To evaluate the relationship between HOMA-IR (x-axis) and clinical findings (y-axis), a Pearson correlation analysis was performed. The figure shows the results obtained for the correlation studies between HOMA-IR and waist circumference (a), systolic blood pressure (b), diastolic blood pressure (c), BMI (d), fasting glucose (e), and fasting insulin (f).
