“…Research in different parts of the world has shown that intensive interventions including the adoption of a healthy diet, increased physical activity, smoking cessation plan, and maintenance of healthy body weight can prevent Type 2 diabetes (Yates & Davies, 2015). In addition, programs focusing on individuals considered to have a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes are more cost-effective than those targeting low-risk individuals (Cavan et al, 2016).…”

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the probability of developing type 2 diabetes among the” taxi drivers of the county of Tlemcen in the next 10 years based on risk factors prevalence and give them feedback as an incentive to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. To evaluate the potentially existing risk of developing type 2 diabetes, the Finnish Diabetes Risk score was used to design a questionnaire that was randomly administered to 178 taxi drivers. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS v.26 at 0.05 and our survey was performed in September 2019. We found that the probability of developing the disease among the taxi drivers who were over 55 years was higher than those who were under 55 years. In addition, eating fruits and vegetables regularly had no significant impact on reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes whereas physical activity showed a significant impact. Also, taxi drivers were characterized by a lack of physical activity and 35.3% of them did not have health insurance. An active policy can be initiated by including discounts in sports clubs for people below 55 years old, and free access for those over 55.
