Abstract:ThediagnosisoflowinsulinsensitivityiscommonlydonethroughtheHOMAIRindex,inwhich
fastinginsulinandglucosebloodlevelsareevaluated.Insulinandbloodglucoselevelsareusedforinsulin
sensitivityassessmentbysurrogatemethods(HOMAIR,Matsuda,etc),butanthropometricmeasurementslike
bodyweight,heightandwaistcircumferencearenotconsidered,evenifthesevariablesalsoarerelatedtolow
insulinsensitivityandmetabolicsyndrome.Inthisstudyweevaluatetheimpactofanthropometric
measurementsontheHOMAIR,MatsudaandCaumoindexestoestimateinsulinsensitivity.Specifically,we
compareinsulinsensitivityindexeswithandwithouttheanthropometricmeasurementsintheirequationson
threedifferentgroups:patientswithmetabolicsyndrome,sedentariesandmarathoners.Resultsshow
relationshipsbetweenanthropometricvariablesandinsulinsensitivityindexes.Ontheotherhand,subjectsare

addition,subjectsdiagnosedwithnormalinsulinsensitivitycouldbeconsideredashavinglowinsulinsensitivity
whenanthropometricvariablesareconsidered.
