Associations between high cholesterol and insulin sensitivity in diabetic versus non-diabetic among young adults in Lephalale, Limpopo Province, South Africa
Young diabetic adults in Lephalale exhibit pronounced dyslipidemia and insulin resistance, with strong lipid-HOMA-IR associations. Findings highlight the need for early metabolic screening and targeted interventions in transitioning African communities to mitigate future cardio metabolic risk.
