Abstract

Background: Insulin resistance (IR) is a common complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Women's risk of IR increases significantly after menopause. This Study aimed to determine the risk of IR and related risk variables in non- diabetic women. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in East Java, Indonesia, between June - August 2024. Participants were 196 nondiabetic women selected using consecutive method. This study used a questionnaire and the FINDRISC tool. Results: The average FINDRISC score of respondents was 10.4. There were five risk categories for IR: low (24.3%), moderate (15.5%), high (24.3%), slightly increased (33.7%), and extremely high (2.2%). The FINDRISC score was significantly correlated with menopausal status, smoking, history of hypertension, and family history of DM (p-value = 0.000, p < α). Multivariate test results showed that age, menopausal status, waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), physical activity, and family history of DM can significantly be used to predict the risk of insulin resistance (p-value = 0.000, p < α). Menopausal status (Coef. B = 3.489), lack of physical activity (Coef. B = 1.262), and family history of DM (Coef. B = 3.715) were the three factors that were most significant in predicting the likelihood of IR. Conclusion: The risk of IR is projected to increase with age, WC, BMI, and family history of DM and to decrease with increasing physical activity.
