| Resumo: | [eng] Introduction: Diabetes is a chronic disease that has a major impact on people’s health by increasing the risk of death from cardiovascular and other causes. Pre-diabetes is a state prior to diabetes that is also known to increase health risk. The aim of this study is to apply a tool to detect people at high risk of prediabetes. Methods: Retrospective, cross-sectional study conducted in 134,065 European workers aged 18-69 years. The PRISQ (Prediabetes Risk Score in Qatar), which uses clinical anthropometric variables, was used to determine the risk of developing prediabetes. Results: 13.1% of the men and 6.2% of the women in our study had high-risk PRISQ values. The different sociodemographic variables analysed, especially age, but also sex and social class increase the risk of having high PRISQ values. Conclusion: The PRISQ scale can be useful at all levels of care to detect people at risk of prediabetes. |
