Insulin resistance is the inability of a known quantity of exogenous or endogenous insulin to increase glucose uptake. Subsequences of insulin resistance cause several metabolic and cardiovascular changes that result in a disorder typically characterized by type 2 diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemias, coronary artery disease, and hypertension. The aim of this study undertaken to find the distribution of HOMA-IR levels between males & females in the Tobruk area and also to find who is the most common age affected between males and females individually. The data was conducted from 108 samples of females (73%) and males (27%). The result was found that males are more affected by insulin resistance than females (2. 9 vs. 2.19) respectively. The age group of females from fifty years and above is more common for insulin resistance as mean HOMA-IR signified (2.61), while males from 21-30 years are more likely to have insulin resistance as mean HOMA-IR (2.16). Obesity, diabetes, physical inactivity, dietary inverses, and genetic trait is causes of insulin resistance. it is recommended that patients exercise and follow a healthy diet.
