Relationship between Finnish diabetes risk score and metabolic syndrome, vitamin d and insulin resistance in women

The  Finnish  Diabetes  Risk  Score  (FINDRISC)  is  thought  to  be  associated  with cardiovascular  risk  factors  separately  from  type  2  diabetes.  We  aimed  to  evaluate  the  relationship between FINDRISC and metabolic syndrome, vitamin D and insulin resistance in this study.

115  women  were  recruited  to  study.  Patients  were  divided  into  5  groups  according  to FINDRISC score. Metabolic syndrome was assessed in patients with FINDRISC scores, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), HbA1c, insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), triglyceride (TG), systolic and diastolic hypertension.
