The article by Nguyen et al. (1) assessed the usefulness of the childhood glucose homeostasis variable homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in predicting pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes and cardiometabolic risk factors in adulthood. In the investigators' retrospective cohort study of adults aged 19–39 years who were followed for 17 years since adulthood, at least 50% of the subjects who ranked the highest (top quintile) for HOMA-IR in childhood maintained their rank …
