Table 5 Correlation between the risk score calculated with JAMRISC and the degree of insulin resistance

From: Evaluation of the Japanese Metabolic Syndrome Risk Score (JAMRISC): a newly developed questionnaire used as a screening tool for diagnosing metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in Japan

  1. aThe results of blood testing revealed that the mean HOMA-IR was 1.15 for subjects with a questionnaire score of <20 (males, 32.7 %), 1.67 for subjects with a score of 20–49 (males, 71.4 %), 1.66 for subjects with a score of 50–89 (males, 83.8 %), and 2.25 for subjects with a score of 90–100 (males, 80.6 %), indicating strong insulin resistance. Accordingly, insulin resistance tended to increase as the risk score increased
  2. bInsulin resistance intensity was set at three levels: HOMA-IR ≥1.4, HOMA-IR ≥2.0, HOMA-IR ≥3.0, and insulin resistance detection rates were investigated for each risk score. The results indicated that 87.1% of subjects with a risk score of ≥20 were HOMA-R ≧1.4, 91.2 % were HOMA-IR ≧2.0, and 92.3 % were HOMA-IR ≧3.0
