From: Fasting insulin sensitivity indices are not better than routine clinical variables at predicting insulin sensitivity among Black Africans: a clamp study in sub-Saharan Africans

Figure 1

Correlation between clamp-derived insulin sensitivity index (M value), and fasting indices and clinical surrogates of insulin sensitivity overall and in men and women. Plots are based on the Box-Cox transformed values of insulin sensitivity of interest (x-axis) against the Box-Cox transformed M value (y-axis). Across figure panels, the filled circles are always for men and the point-up triangles for women. For each figure panel, the superimposed curves are the linear regression lines depicting the continuous association of indices of interest with M value overall (solid line) and for men (dotted lines) and women (broken lines). The accompanying correlation coefficient and 95% confidence intervals are also shown.
