HOMA-IR Formula:
The HOMA-IR (Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance) score is calculated using fasting glucose and fasting insulin levels. The formula varies slightly based on the unit of glucose:
- If Fasting Glucose is in mmol/L:
HOMA-IR = (Fasting Glucose (mmol/L) × Fasting Insulin (µIU/mL)) / 22.5 - If Fasting Glucose is in mg/dL:
HOMA-IR = (Fasting Glucose (mg/dL) × Fasting Insulin (µIU/mL)) / 405
Where:
- Fasting Glucose: Your blood glucose level after at least 8 hours of fasting.
- Fasting Insulin: Your blood insulin level after at least 8 hours of fasting.
- 22.5 and 405 are conversion constants.
