Abstract

Background: Insulin resistance is a key factor in the development of metabolic diseases, which are increasingly prevalent in young adults. Early detection is crucial for timely intervention. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, calculated from fasting triglyceride and glucose levels, has emerged as a potential alternative to the more complex homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). This study aimed to evaluate the agreement between the TyG index and HOMA-IR in detecting insulin resistance in young adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 102 non-diabetic young adults (aged 18-22 years). Fasting blood samples were collected to measure triglyceride, glucose, and insulin levels. The agreement between the TyG index and HOMA-IR was assessed using the Kappa coefficient. Results: The median age of the participants was 20 years, with 65.7% being female. The prevalence of insulin resistance was 79.4% based on the TyG index (cut-off value of 4.25) and 43.1% based on HOMA-IR (cut-off value of 2.2). The agreement between the two indices was slight (Kappa = 0.155, p = 0.001). Conclusion: The TyG index showed a higher prevalence of insulin resistance compared to HOMA-IR in this population. However, the agreement between the two indices was low. Further research is needed to validate the TyG index as a screening tool for insulin resistance in young adults.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the challenges in ensuring customer satisfaction with marketplace services, which are still hindered by gaps in users' digital literacy, the complexity of distribution channels, and various conditions of logistics infrastructure in different regions. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which technology usage strategies and the effectiveness of distribution channels can contribute to increasing consumer satisfaction levels in marketplace based on service offerings. The research method used is descriptive quantitative, with data collected through an online questionnaire sent to marketplace users, which is then analyzed using PLS SEM to test the strength and significance of the influence between variables. The main results indicate that both research variables significantly affect customer satisfaction, with a stronger contribution coming from the distribution channels. In conclusion, strategies for technology use and the effectiveness of distribution channels both contribute to increasing customer satisfaction in service marketplace. The implications of this research emphasize that increasing customer satisfaction in the marketplace cannot be achieved solely by updating the interface in digital use or accelerating the delivery process separately, but rather requires synergy between technology use strategies and a well-functioning distribution channel network.
