The Insulin Resistance Syndrome is characterized by decreased tissue sensitivity to the action of insulin, obesity and a thick Carotid Intima Media Thickness (CIMT). Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA) remains an excellent to assess the level of insulin resistance. We studied the impact of a healthy lifestyle modification in young overweight BMI >27 and non-overweight adults BMI <22 m/kg2. The intervention consisted of a 16 weeks dietary consultation, exercise and a personalized vascular image.
Results:
Discussion: Both groups lost some weight and showed an improvement in different parameters. The relative change in CIMT was significantly more in the obese group A positive correlation between HOMA and CIMT was observed, (r= 0.717, p< 0.02). in the overweight cases increasing significantly (r=0.832, p<0.01) (delta change p<0.05).
What aspect contributed the most to these results(diet, exercise or possession of a personal vascular image) needs further larger early detection study.
