HOMA IR Reduction

Meaning

HOMA IR Reduction is the clinical objective of lowering the Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) score, which is a mathematical calculation used to quantify an individual’s insulin sensitivity and pancreatic beta-cell function. A significant reduction in this score indicates improved cellular responsiveness to insulin, leading to more efficient glucose uptake and lower basal insulin secretion. This improvement is fundamental for metabolic health, longevity, and the prevention of type 2 diabetes.
