Valoración del riesgo de desarrollar diabetes mellitus tipo 2 a través del Test de Findrisk en la población de la cabecera cantonal del cantón Pindal.

Diabetes mellitus is one of the main epidemiological problems due to its high mortality, morbidity and costs, for this reason the present study is of transcendent importance, whose general objective is to determine the risk to 10 years to develop Diabetes Mellitus type 2. The present study is qualitative, descriptive and cross-sectional, for which a sample of 339 people (165 men and 174 women) between the ages of 20 and 64 years of age living in the Cantonal Canton Pindal, selected by simple randomization to which the Findrisk test was applied to identify the risk of the study population, which reported that 38% (n = 128) of the population under investigation were at slightly elevated risk, followed by in order of appearance, 14% (n = 47) corresponding to a Moderate risk; 10% (n = 35) of the individuals fit a risk corresponding to High. As for the age group, the high risk is concentrated more in the ages of 35 to 44 years with 23 cases (6.48%) being similar in both men and women; and very high risk in the ages of 45 to 64 years with a number of 2 cases (0.58%) in men only. Among the predisposing risk factors we have the daily non-consumption of fruits and vegetables with 205 cases (60.4%), followed by overweight with 174 cases (51.3%), lack of physical activity with 162 cases (47.7%), of the data mentioned above we can conclude that the risk found in this population was low and although few cases with very high risk constitute a public health problem.
