Introducción: La diabetes Mellitus (DM), es una enfermedad crónica, incurable, de carácter multifactorial, que se caracteriza por la presencia de hiperglucemia, que altera diferentes órganos del cuerpo humano y que afecta a personas de diferentes grupos etarios en el mundo. Objetivo: Conocer el nivel de riesgo de padecer Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) en personas que acuden al Centro de Salud Universitario de Motupe de la ciudad de Loja. Métodos: Estudio cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo, de corte transversal en una muestra de 30 personas acuden a consulta al Centro de Salud Universitario de Motupe, se usó la prueba “Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISK)” el cual se encuentra validado y tiene un alto grado de confiabilidad con un coeficiente Alpha de Cronbach de 0.78, conformado por 8 variables referentes a los factores de riesgo. Resultados: El 33,3% de la población presenta un riesgo ligeramente elevado, seguido del 26,7 % que presentan un riesgo bajo y un 16,7% de la población presenta un rango moderado y alto, finalizando con 6,7% que presentan un rango muy alto de padecer DM2 en los próximos 10 años. Conclusiones: El nivel de riesgo más representativo es el ligeramente elevado, en donde las variables que representan más riesgo son la actividad física y el índice de masa corporal, mientras que las variables de edad y consumo de frutas y verduras son aquellos factores que de seguir en un buen nivel van a actuar favoreciendo en la prevención de la Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 2 Palabras clave: diabetes mellitus, hiperglucemia, complicaciones de la diabetes Tipo 2, Adulto, obesidad, síndrome metabólico ABSTRACT Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic, incurable, multifactorial disease, characterized by the presence of hyperglycemia, which alters different organs of the human body and affects people of different age groups in the world. Objective: To know the level of risk of suffering from Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) in people who attend the Motupe University Health Center in the city of Loja. Methods: Quantitative descriptive cross-sectional study in a sample of 30 people attending the Motupe University Health Center, the "Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISK)" test was used, which is validated and has a high degree of reliability with a Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of 0.78, made up of 8 variables referring to risk factors. Results: 33.3% of the population presents a slightly high risk, followed by 26.7% that present a low risk and 16.7% of the population presents a moderate and high range, ending with 6.7% that have a very high rate of suffering from DM2 in the next 10 years. Conclusions: The most representative level of risk is slightly elevated, where the variables that represent more risk are physical activity and body mass index, while the variables of age and consumption of fruits and vegetables are those factors that should be followed. at a good level they will act favoring the prevention of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Keywords: diabetes mellitus, hyperglycemia, complications of diabetes type 2, Adult, obesity, metabolic syndrome
