Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of weight cycling on insulin resistance (IR) utilizing the 2015-2020 NHANES database. A value greater than 3.2 for homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was used to define IR. No study to date has examined the weight cycling question since its application in 2015. RESULTS: 53% of the total 4100 participants reported weight cycling at least once, and 33% of the total were classified as having IR. Prevalence of IR and obesity were highest amongst those who weight cycled three times or more, and diabetics were more likely to weight cycle than non-diabetics. A positive association was found for history of weight cycling and average BMI, maximum historical BMI, waist circumference, and HOMA-IR. Simple logistic regression showed that weight cycling three times or more substantially increased the odds of becoming obese (OR 4.415, p
