Accuracy of Tri-ponderal Mass Index and Body Mass Index in Estimating Insulin Resistance, Hyperlipidemia, Impaired Liver Enzymes or Thyroid Hormone Functions and Vitamin D Level in Children and Adolescents

Conclusion: When we use TMI, we may have a risk of skip over the insulin resistance. However, If we assume that liver enzymes are elevated as a finding of visceral adiposity, TMI can be used as an auxiliary parameter to show visceral effects of adiposity. Normal TMI may indicate that visceral organ functions have not deteriorated yet. PMID: 30991791 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
