This study examined the longitudinal relationship between waist circumference (WC) and insulin resistance using three dimensions of WC: baseline WC, slope of linear changes in WC, and fluctuation of WC around the slope during 20 years of follow-up," scientists in the United States report.
"Anthropometry, insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment (HOMA(IR))), and...
