| Sumario: | [eng] Introduction: Insulin resistance (IR) is a multifactorial clinical condition that contributes to the development of various pathological processes. This study aims to assess the associations between different sociodemographic variables, healthy habits, and stress with the values of three IR risk scales. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 24,224 Spanish workers, evaluating how sociodemographic variables (age, gender, and socioeconomic status), healthy habits (smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet), and stress correlate with IR risk scales such as the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), the metabolic IR scale (METS-IR), and the single-point insulin sensitivity estimator (SPISE-IR). Results: All the variables studied showed associations with the values of the three IR risk scales, with the highest odds ratios observed for age and gender. Conclusions: According to our results, the IR risk profile would be characterized by an older male, from a lower socioeconomic status, who smokes, consumes significant amounts of alcohol, is sedentary, has low adherence to the Mediterranean diet, and experiences stress. |
