RIOS RODRIGUEZ, Susana Jacqueline et al. Risk of Developing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus According to the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score in Primary care. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.2  Epub 10-Ago-2023. ISSN 1561-3038.

Introduction:

Type 2 diabetes mellitus, accounts for 90-95 % of all diabetes. It is a potentially preventable chronic disease. The Finnish Diabetes Risk Score is one of the most widely used instruments worldwide to assess the risk of developing diabetes in 10 years with an easy and inexpensive approach.

Objective:

To determine the risk of developing diabetes in the next 10 years according to the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score in patients in a Family Medical Unit in Mexico.

Methods:

Analytical cross-sectional study. The Finnish Diabetes Risk Score was applied to 383 patients and the variables involved in this scale were analyzed. The variables age and body mass index were described with measures of central tendency, while the variables gender, schooling, as well as dichotomous and interval variables, were described by ratios and proportions. Association was measured by Odds Ratio for dichotomous variables and Spearman's coefficient for numerical variables.

Results:

The average age was 47 years and female gender predominated. Sedentary lifestyle was reported by 71.5 % and 51.9 % reported a first-degree relative with diabetes. A 67% probability of having a normal weight was determined when performing daily physical activity. In addition, a 65% probability of having prediabetes was established if overweight or obese, and a linear association was found between body mass index and age. The predominant risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus in 10 years was high.

Conclusions:

The risk of developing diabetes in 10 years in the studied population was high and was related to lack of physical activity, family history and overweight.
