“…This study result is significantly similar to a study in Abuja, Nigeria, by Nnamudi et al 15 , with the female participants having higher mean values of BMI (25.4 ± 5.4 vs 24.9 ± 3.4) and high mean FINDRISC score (7.3 ± 3.4 vs 4.9 ± 3.2) relative to the males. Another study in India showed that urban women in India displayed higher levels of overweight and obesity due to unfavorable diets and lower physical activity levels when compared to rural women 43 .…”

“…Similar to this study in Nigeria, the FINDRISC questionnaire also observed a significantly high Body Mass Index (BMI) in the population residing in urban and semi-urban communities in Nigeria. For example, Nnamudi et al 15 found that 43.2% of Asaba, Delta State study participants were overweight or obese. Likewise, Agu et al 42 noticed that 42.6% of the study population in Onitsha, Anambra State were obese.…”

“…The Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study initially used the FINDRISC questionnaire as a screening tool to effectively identify at-risk individuals of developing T2DM within 10 years 6 . The FINDRISC has been widely adopted as a lowcost screening tool in several countries to assist early identification of individuals at risk of T2DM who might benefit from early preventive interventions [10][11][12][13][14][15] . For example, a study in Spain 16 showed that the FINDRISC questionnaire could predict current undiagnosed diabetes and prediabetes as defined by glucose-based diagnostic criteria in a Spanish population.…”

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a global problem in emerging economy Nigeria. Early detection can help delay or prevent the disease. Aims: This study aims to characterize the prevalence of prediabetes in the study population using the validated Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) in the adult population in an urban Sagamu Ogun State South-Western Nigeria. Patients and Methods: Healthy participants (n=581) aged 18-65yrs with no known history of T2DM or pregnancy were recruited from local urban churches in Sagamu. The FINDRISC questionnaire was then administered, which included questions on age, BMI, waist circumference, vegetable consumption, physical activity, history of high blood pressure, family history of T2DM and history of high blood sugar. Results: Overall, 51.8% of the participants were assigned a risk of developing T2DM in the next 10 years, with a range of categories from slightly elevated to very high risk; 34.4% of the participants had a risk score of 7-11, indicating a slightly elevated risk; 11.2% of the participants had a risk score of 12-14, indicating a moderately elevated risk, while 5.3% of the participants had a risk score of 15-20, indicating a high risk and 0.9% of the participants had a risk score higher than 20 indicating very high elevated risk. The gender distribution of the risk scores showed that 1.7% of the males and 9.5% of the females had a moderate to high risk (score ≥ 12) of developing T2DM in the next 10 years. The FINDRISC score was positively and significantly correlated with body weight (r=0.49; p<0.001), BMI (r=0.55; p<0.001) and age (r=0.27; p<0.001). This prevalence of prediabetes is similar to that found in other studies in Nigeria. Conclusion: This study confirms the use of this simple and non-invasive screening tool for T2DM among adults in Nigeria. It is also a useful tool to increase awareness of this condition in the population.

“… 1 , 2 It suffices to state that the prevalence of diabetes, diabetes-related deaths, and global healthcare expenditures on T2DM continue to rise globally, 3 thus making diabetes a primary global health concern, especially in the developing and underdeveloped nations of the world. 4 Besides, standard diagnostic tests, such as the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), are expensive and difficult to scale up in a large population, 5 especially in resource-limited countries such as Vietnam. Moreover, timely screening for identifying individuals with undiagnosed T2DM is the key to diagnosing diabetes at the early stages and preventing T2DM complications.…”

Purpose Our study aims to evaluate the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus in the next 10 years using ModAsian FINDRISC and additionally explore associated factors among the Vietnam population. Participants and Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 2258 participants aged 25 years old or above in Thua Thien Hue Province, Vietnam. The sample size is calculated based on the estimated sensitivity, and participants were randomly selected from different geographical and socio-economic areas. All participants were thoroughly medically examined, taking blood lipid profile and fasting blood glucose, taking blood pressure, anthropometric indexes, 12-lead electrocardiogram, and behavioral factors were investigated using the Vietnamese version of the WHO STEPS toolkit. The risk of developing T2DM was made based on the ModAsian FINDRISC. Results The incidence of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus among the study population was 4.21%. The group with a high or very high risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus in the next 10 years accounted for 2.52%. Body mass index (AUC = 0.840, 95% CI: 0.792–0.888), waist circumference (AUC = 0.824, 95% CI: 0.777–0.871), family history of diabetes mellitus (AUC = 0.751, 95% CI = 0.668–0.833), and history of antihypertensive medication use regularly (AUC = 0.708, 95% CI: 0.632–0.784) are the most associated factors of the ModAsian FINDRISC. Residential location (OR = 5.62, 95% CI: 1.91–16.54) and occupational status (OR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.20–0.62) were significant factors associated with a high and very high risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus in the next 10 year. Conclusion Screening for the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and implementing intervention programs focusing on controlling weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure are essential for reducing type 2 diabetes mellitus incidence and burden in Vietnam.

Bu çalışmanın amacı; diyabetli olmayan erişkin bireyleri de diyabet risk faktörlerini ve bireylerin risk farkındalıklarını belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı tipte planlandı. Araştırmaya 18 yaş üstü, diyabetli olmayan ve çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan bireyler dahil edildi. Verilerin toplanmasında Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Tip 2 Diyabet Risk Tanılama Formu (FINDRISC) kullanıldı. Bulgular: Araştırmaya çoğunluğu erkek (%62,4) yaş ortalaması 48,23 ± 15,54 olan 875 birey katıldı. Katılımcıların beden kütle indeksi (BKİ) ortalaması 28,34± 4,89 kg/m2, olup %39,2'si fazla tartılı, %35,1'i ise obezdir. Bel çevresi (BÇ) ortalaması ise kadınlarda 90,2 9± 12,31cm, erkeklerde 97,38±10,34cm olarak hesaplanan bireylerin sadece %29,8'inin bel çevresi normal değer aralığındadır. Çalışmaya katılan bireylerin diyabet risk testi (FINDRISC) puan ortalaması 10,44 ± 5,23 bulundu. Kadınların puan ortalaması erkeklerden daha yüksekti (t=-3.37, p=0.001). Katılımcıların %97'si diyabetin önemli bir hastalık olduğunu, %89,3'ü diyabetin önlenebilir olduğunu ifade ederken %61,6'sı kendini diyabet açısından riskli bulduğunu belirtti. Sonuç: Bu araştırma, katılımcıların büyük bir kısmının bel çevresi ve BKİ değerlerinin normalin üzerinde olduğunu, FINDRISC puanına göre yarıdan fazlasının orta ve üstü risk grubunda olduğunu ve yaklaşık 1/3'inin kendini diyabet açısından riskli bulmadığı yani bireysel risk farkındalığının düşük olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
