Riesgo de desarrollar Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 en la población de la cabecera cantonal de Zamora

Diabetes Mellitus type 2 (DM2) is a very relevant public health problem, and primary health care, prevention, and patient education should focus on measures aimed at reducing modifiable risk factors, for which screening is performed with the application of the FINDRISC test. The purpose of this research study was to establish the risk of developing DM2 in the population of the cantonal capital of Zamora to identify the level of education, economic activity, and cigarette consumption as factors associated with the development of DM2, and to develop actions for health promotion and prevention of this disease. This study had a preventive, descriptive, cross-sectional cohort approach with a universe of 7329 people and the participation of 366 people between 18 and 64 years of age living in the city of Zamora, selected stratified by age groups and gender, to whom we applied a structured survey and the before mentioned test. A low and slightly elevated risk score prevailed (80.1%), and a moderate to very high risk (19.9%) of presenting DM2 in the next ten years. The risk of developing DM2, according to sex, was higher in women (24.1%); than in men (15.8%) and people aged between 55 and 64 years of age (27.1%). People with an instruction level of secondary education (8.7%) and people engaged in household chores and personal services (6.3%) had a higher prevalence. Tobacco use was statistically significant as a risk factor
