New study maps insulin resistance across diverse groups
NCT ID NCT05950282
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how fasting insulin and insulin resistance differ based on age, sex, race/ethnicity, body weight, and PCOS diagnosis. Researchers will analyze data from 150 adults to find patterns that may explain why some groups face higher metabolic risks. The goal is to better understand these differences, not to test a new treatment.
