Resumo:Objective: To analyze the importance of FINDRISK in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) risk stratification as a preventive strategy in community health. Methods: A descriptive, analytical and epidemiological study, carried out with 371 people, aged 30-69 years, conducted between August 2015 and March 2016 in the Brazilian Northeast. The tool FINDRISK was used for data collection by means of inferential statistics analysis, with prevalence ratios calculation at the significance level of 5%. Results: Of the subjects, 85.7% (n=318) presented no/low/moderate risk of DM2, 66.8 % (n=248) were females, 59% (n=218) aged over 45 years, 72% (n=267) had high BMI, 77% (n=284) had increased waist circumference, 54% (n=202) practiced physical activity, 67% (n=250) did not eat vegetables/fruits, 80% (n=297) did not have high blood glucose, and 52% (n=194) had family history of DM. Conclusion: The questionnaire proved to be an important tool for DM2 risk stratification, and a potential inducer in the planning of health prevention and promotion actions, according to the severity level.
