Lack of association between insulin resistance as estimated by homeostasis model assessment and stroke risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Epidemiologic studies have reported conflicting results on the association between insulin resistance and risk of stroke. This meta-analysis sought to evaluate the association between homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and risk of stroke. Eligible studies were identified by searching PubMed and Emabse databases up to December 2018. Prospective observational studies investigating the association between HOMA-IR and incident...
