| Sumario: | [eng] Introduction: Diabetes is a very prevalent disease and therefore it is very important to have tools to assess the risk of suffering from it. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out on 59,042 workers from different productive sectors. The relationship between different scales of overweight, obesity and cardiovascular risk such as waist circumference, waist to height ratio, body shape index, visceral adiposity index, conicity index, hypertriglyceridemic waist and Cholindex with the Findrisk type 2 diabetes risk scale was evaluated. Results: A worsening in the mean values of the different scales analyzed is observed as the value of the Findrisk test increases in both sexes. An increase in the prevalence of altered values of these same scales is also observed as the values of the Findrisk test increase and equally in both sexes. Conclusion: As expected, the Findrisk test is directly related to the different scales of overweight, obesity and cardiovascular risk analyzed. |
