- Abstract
The article discusses a study that intends to elucidate the association of markers of central adiposity with fasting insulin and homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in a large group of Greek children aged 9 to 13 years. Highlights include assessment of trunk fat and visceral fat mass, assessment of data normality via one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, and multiple linear regression analysis between Fasting Insulin and HOMA-IR and indicators of central fat mass.
