Early testing of insulin resistance: a tale of two lipid ratios in a group of 5th graders screened by the Coronary Artery Risk Detection in Appalachian Communities Project (CARDIAC Project).

CONCLUSIONS: TRIG/HDL-C is a better surrogate marker of insulin resistance in AN-positive children compared to TRIG/LDL-C ratio; so, on a population-level, cholesterol rather than insulin may be obtained for preliminary testing of early insulin resistance in children.
