Objectives: The objective of the study was to investigate the prevalence of undiagnosed dysglycaemia and the risk for type 2 dia betes using the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) in the working population of Belgium. Moreover, it was to evaluate performance and applicability of FINDRISC as a screening tool during occupational health surveillance. Material and Methods: A crosssectional analysis was carried out over the years 2010-2011 among 275 healthy employees who underwent a health check including fasting plasma glucose and the FINDRISC questionnaire. The sensitivity, specificity and predictive value of differ ent FINDRISC cutoff values to detect dysglycaemia was revised in the literature and then calculated. Results: The prevalence of unknown dysglycaemia was 1.8%. Twelve percent of the employees had a FINDRISC score of 12 to 14 corresponding to a moder ate risk of 17% to develop diabetes within the next 10 years, and 5.5% had a score of 15 or more corresponding to a high -very high risk of 33% to 50%. All dysglycaemic individuals had a FINDRISC score of 12 or higher. The sensitivity and specificity for detecting dysglycaemia was respectively 100% and 84.1% for a FINDRISC cut-off value ≥ 12; and 80% and 95.9% for a cut-off value ≥ 15. Conclusions: A considerable number of workers had dysglycaemia or was at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The questionnaire is a reliable, valuable and easy to use screening tool in occupational health surveillance.

“…Yapılan başka bir çalışmada ise FINDRISC'in tip 2 diyabet riskinin yanısıra metabolik sendrom riskinin belirlenmesinde de iyi bir gösterge olabileceği gösterilmiştir (Janghorbani, Adineh, & Amini, 2013). Yunanistan'da yapılan bir çalışmada ise FINDRISC'in tip 2 diyabet ve metabolik sendromun belirlenmesinde geçerli bir ölçek olduğu bildirilmiştir (Makrilakis, et al, 2011). Dolayısıyla bu çalışmada hemşirelik bölümü öğrencilerinde tip 2 diyabet riskinin yanısıra kardiyovasküler riskin de belirlendiği söylenebilir.…”

Öz:Bu araştırmada hemşirelik bölümü öğrencilerinin tip 2 diyabet riski ile bel/boy oranı ve tip 2 diyabet riski iliş-kisinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Vücut ağırlığı, boy uzunluğu, bel ve kalça çevresi ölçümleri tekniğine uygun olarak yapılmış ve Finlandiya tip 2 diyabet riski anketi uygulanmıştır. Öğrencilerin %67.1'inin 10 yıllık tip 2 diyabet riskinin %1, %28.5'inin 10 yıllık diyabet riskinin %4, %2.2'sinin 10 yıllık tip 2 diyabet riskinin %16 ve %2.2'sinin 10 yıllık tip 2 diyabet riskinin %33 olduğu saptanmıştır. Tip 2 diyabet riski ile bel/boy oranı ve beden kütle indeksi arasındaki ilişki orta dü-zeyde olup bel/boy oranı, tip 2 diyabet riski ile korelasyon katsayısı en yüksek olan ölçümdür. Gençlerde tip 2 diyabet riskinin girişimsel olmayan yöntemlerle belirlenebilmesi riskin azaltılmasında etkili olabilir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Diabetes mellitus, Obezite, Abdominal, Öğrenciler, Hemşirelik Abstract: THE ASSESMENT OF RELATION BETWEEN WAIST/HEIGHT RATIO AND TYPE 2 DIABETES RISK AMONG NURSING STUDENTSIn this study it's aimed to evaluate type 2 diabetes risk and the relation between type 2 diabetes and waist/height ratio in nursing students. Body weight, height, waist and hip circumferences were performed by following the appropriate techniques and Finnish type 2 diabetes risk score questionnarie was applied. The ratio of students whose ten years risk of type 2 diabetes risk were %1, %4, %16 and %33 assesed as %67.1, %28.5, %2.2 and %2.2, respectively. While type 2 diabetes risk correlated with both waist/height ratio and body mass index at medium level, waist/height ratio had the highest correlation coefficient with type 2 diabetes. The assesment of type 2 diabetes risk of youth with noninasive techniques could be effective for decreasing the risk.
