Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. To see correlation between measurements of Neck circumference (NC) and Wrist circumference (WrC) and insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR).Timepoint: As this is a cross-sectional study outcome measure is seen at single point of time i.e., at the time of recruitment.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Any correlation of Neck and Wrist Circumference with other insulin resistance factors such as total cholesterol, serum triglycerides,fasting glucose and serum insulin.Timepoint: As this is a cross-sectional study outcome measure is seen at single point of time i.e., at the time of recruitment.
