ABSTRACT

Introduction: type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic non-communicable disease with a high global prevalence, accounting for over 90% of all diabetes cases. Its increase among adults of productive age raises concerns about its clinical and economic impact. Early identification of individuals at risk is crucial for implementing effective preventive measures. Material and methods: an observational, cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted at the ISSSTE León Family Medicine Clinic, Mexico, in the months of June-August 2024. The Finnish diabetes risk questionnaire (Findrisk) was applied to workers between 20-65 years of age without a previous diagnosis of chronic diseases. The instrument evaluated demographic, anthropometric and behavioral risk factors. Results: of the 95 participants, 66 were women (70%) and 29 were men (30%). Fifty-six (59%) presented a moderate to very high risk of developing T2DM in the next 10 years; the risk was higher in administrative staff (67%) compared to medical staff (56%) and nursing staff (52%). Significant associations were identified between risk and factors such as advanced age, sedentary lifestyle, abdominal obesity and family history. The staff at risk of developing diabetes was: 29 (31%) at slightly elevated risk, 19 (20%) at moderate risk, 34 (36%) at high risk. Conclusion: a significant proportion of staff are at high risk of developing T2DM, which not only represents a public health problem, but also a potential increase in institutional costs for medical care, absenteeism, and associated complications.
