The homeostatic model assessment ( HOMA ) is a method used to quantify insulin resistance and beta-cell function . It was first described under the name HOMA by Matthews et al. in 1985.

They also published an equation (see below) that gave approximately the same answers as an early version of the computer software. The computer model has since been improved to a HOMA2 model to better reflect human physiology and recalibrated to modern insulin assays. In this updated version it

98-513: Is possible to determine insulin sensitivity and β-cell function from paired fasting plasma glucose and radioimmunoassay insulin, specific insulin, or C-peptide concentrations. The authors recommend the computer software be used wherever possible. The HOMA model was originally designed as a special case of a more general structural (HOMA-CIGMA) model that includes the continuous infusion of glucose with model assessment (CIGMA) approach; both techniques use mathematical equations to describe
112-542: Is the β-cell function (more precisely, an index for glucose tolerance, i.e. a measure for the ability to counteract the glucose load). Insulin is given in μU/mL . Glucose and insulin are both during fasting. This model correlated well with estimates using the euglycemic clamp method (r = 0.88). The authors have tested HOMA and HOMA2 extensively against other measures of insulin resistance (or its reciprocal, insulin sensitivity) and β-cell function. The approximation formulae above relate to HOMA and are crude estimates of

The approximating equation for insulin resistance, in the early model, used a fasting plasma sample, and was derived by use of the insulin - glucose product, divided by a constant: (assuming normal-weight, normal subjects < 35 years, having 100% β-cell function an insulin resistance of 1) IR is insulin resistance and %β
