Matsuda Sensitivity Index Derived From the OGTT(SI OGTT)

The SI IOGTT is a measure of peripheral insulin sensitivity derived from the values of Insulin (microunits per milliliter) and Glucose (milligrams per deciliter) obtained from the OGTT and the corresponding fasting values. SI (OGTT) = 10,000/ [(G fasting x I fasting) x (G OGTTmean x I OGTTmean)], where fasting glucose and insulin data are taken from time 0 of the OGTT and mean data represent the average glucose and insulin values obtained during the entire OGTT. The square root is used to correct for nonlinear distribution of insulin, and 10,000 is a scaling factor in the equation. The higher value, the more sensitive to insulin. (NCT02635386)

Oral Disposition (Insulin Sensitivity-insulin Secretion) Index

An estimation of β-cell compensatory function, the insulin secretion-sensitivity index (IS-SI) will be derived by applying the concept of the oral disposition index to measurements obtained during the 2-h OGTT and calculated as the index of insulin secretion factored by insulin sensitivity (ΔINS/ΔPG 30 x Matsuda SIOGTT) from the OGTT. A higher score shows improved pancreatic insulin responsiveness relative to resistance. (NCT02635386)

Each component summary is a normed score with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10 in the US general population. Higher scores indicate better health.~Z-scores are computed for each subscale, which are then converted into a component summary z-score using a weighted formula. The component summary z-score is then converted to a t-distribution with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10.~Scores are scaled to a T-score with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10.
