Reduction of insulin resistance in 14–15-year-old students after the COVID-19 pandemic: a prospective study from Tsunan, Japan
The significant increase in HOMA-IR observed after 2020 significantly decreased to values similar to pre-COVID-19 levels by 2023. However, BMI and obesity levels showed no temporal changes. Our findings suggest that changes in lifestyle due to the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020-2022 may have influenced IR in 14-15-year-old students, irrespective of obesity status.
