Metabolic adaptation
Percentage body fat (%BF) is a better predictor of insulin resistance as indicated by QUICKI than dietary factors.
Monitoring body fat percentage may be more effective than focusing solely on dietary factors for assessing insulin resistance.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
No dietary factors were associated with HOMA or QUICKI, but %BF best predicted IR as indicated by QUICKI (partial r= ‐0.44, p=0.04).
Why this rating
Based on statistical analysis of body fat and insulin resistance.
