Objective:To investigate the relationship between Apelin insulin resistance and simple obesity in children.Methods:42 children with simple obesity were enrolled in the study
40 non-obese children as control.All of them were detected for Apelin and insulin resistance(HOMA2-IR).Results:The Apelin in children with simple obesity were higher than those in non-obese children(t=2.483
P = 0.015)
and HOMA2-IR hoved the same trends(t = 12.368
P = 0.000 1).Apelin and HOMA2-IR also have positive correlation with BMI
the correlation coefficient r was 0.768(t = 6.253
P = 0.000 1)and 0.754(t = 5.641
P = 0.004)
each.Apelin and HOMA2-IR were also independent factors associated with children simple obesity
OR was 1.416(P=0.017)and 1.394(P=0.028)
respectively.Conclusions:Increased Apelin level in children with simple obesity may associated with insulin resistance.
