ABSTRACT
We aimed at investigating insulin resistance in children with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Fasting serum insulin and glucose levels were determined in 31 children with H. pylori (+) (H. pylori-infected group, 20 girls and 11 boys, median age 12 yr, range 6-17) and 29 H. pylori (-) (control group, 18 girls and 11 boys, median age 13 yr, range 5-16). Insulin resistance was assessed using homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) score. Fasting serum glucose levels did not differ significantly between H. pylori (+) and (-) children. Both HOMA-IR score and serum insulin levels were significantly higher in H. pylori-infected compared to control children. The findings of the present study suggested that there is a certain relation between H. pylori infection and insulin resistance in children.
