Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the value of C-peptide-based insulin resistance index in evaluating the correlation between insulin resistance and serum uric acid (Ua) level in subjects undergoing health examination.
METHODS
The data of 46 017 subjects undergoing health examination were retrospectively collected from the Second Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from January, 2017 to December, 2021. The subjects were divided into Ua≤420 μmol/L group and Ua>420 μmol/L group for comparison of HOMA insulin resistance index (HOMA2-IR) and HOMA insulin resistance-C peptide (HOMA2 IR-CP). The correlations of HOMA2-IR and HOMA2 IR-CP with Ua level were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis and linear regression analysis. Hierarchical interaction analysis was conducted to assess the differences in the association between insulin resistance index and Ua level in different subgroups. The ROC curve was used to evaluate the predictive ability of insulin resistance index for an increased Ua level.
RESULTS
The levels of HOMA2-IR and HOMA2 IR-CP were significantly lower in Ua≤420 μmol/L group than in Ua>420 μmol/L group. Univariate Pearson correlation analysis showed a weak correlation of HOMA2-IR with Ua (r=0.262, P<0.001) and moderate correlation of HOMA2 IR-CP with Ua (r=0.409, P<0.001). Multivariate linear regression analysis, after adjustment for confounding factors, demonstrated that HOMA2-IR (R2=0.445, P<0.001) and HOMA2 IR-CP (R2=0.461, P<0.001) were both factors affecting Ua level. Hierarchical interaction analysis showed that the association of insulin resistance index with Ua level varied significantly with gender, age, and glucose metabolism (P<0.001). ROC curve showed that the areas under the curve predicted an increased Ua level by HOMA2-IR and HOMA2 IR-CP were 0.662 and 0.722, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
HOMA2 IR-CP is a more accurate indicator for assessing the correlation between insulin resistance and Ua level.
