ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Several epidemiologic studies showed the significant association of insulin resistance with asthma.OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of insulin resistance with airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in adult population.METHODS:
1,058 subjects who visited to the Seoul National University Hospital Gangnam Center from October 2007 to January 2009 for a routine health check-up were enrolled. All subjects completed a questionnaire, anthropometric measurements such as body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference, blood tests, pulmonary function test, and methacholine bronchial provocation test (MBPT). Insulin resistance was estimated from the homeostasis model of assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR).
