Diabetes mellitus is a chronic, endocrine-metabolic disease, identified as a global health problem. It constitutes one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in adults and the elderly. It is considered the first cause of preventable blindness and non-traumatic amputations in the lower limbs; prevention and early diagnosis constitute the pillars for the control of the disease. The objective of the study was to systematize the results of studies on the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults according to studies that used the FINDRISC test. For this, a basic, non-experimental, descriptive, cross-sectional and documentary investigation was carried out consisting of a bibliographic review with a universe of study of 83 documents, of which 29 were part of the sample. The review included the use of health descriptors and Boolean operators; focused on the search for information published in journals indexed in high-impact databases such as Medline, Scopus, PubMed and Ice Web of Science and in regional databases such as Scielo, Latindex, Lilac and Redalyc among others. The main results include the characterization of the level of risk of suffering from type 2 diabetes based on sociodemographic and bioanthropometric factors that favor the appearance of the disease. It is concluded that diabetes mellitus generates high morbidity and mortality that affects the functional capacity and quality of life of patients. The FINDRISC test provides advantages in terms of predisposition or risk of suffering from the disease.
