Abstrakt: Aims/hypothesis: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the higher prevalence of insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in urban compared with rural Indian men is related to their higher adiposity (percentage body fat) and the associated inflammatory state.
Methods: We studied 149 rural, 142 urban slum and 150 urban middle-class male residents (age 30-50 years), who were selected by stratified random sampling. We measured body fat (bioimpedance), waist circumference, glucose tolerance (75 g OGTT), insulin resistance [homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR)], beta cell function (insulinogenic index) and inflammatory markers (total leucocyte count, IL-6, TNF-alpha and C-reactive protein).
Results: Adiposity, waist circumference, HOMA-IR, insulinogenic index and both fasting and 120 min plasma glucose concentrations increased progressively from rural through to urban slum and urban middle-class men. Inflammatory markers were higher in urban than in rural men. Adiposity was strongly related to HOMA-IR (r = 0.57, p < 0.001) and to insulinogenic index and glycaemic parameters (r = 0.25, p < 0.001 for both). Adiposity explained approximately two thirds of the difference in HOMA-IR between the urban middle-class men and the rural and slum residents, but its contribution to the difference in insulinogenic index and 120 min plasma glucose concentration was not significant. Inclusion of C-reactive protein, IL-6 and total leucocyte count in the models did not further explain these results, nor did the inclusion of waist circumference. There was a significant residual difference after these adjustments.
Conclusions/interpretation: Adiposity is a major contributor to the difference in insulin resistance between rural and urban Indian men; there was no additional contribution from inflammation or central obesity. Other unmeasured factors also seem to contribute to the metabolic differences between rural and urban men.
