“…Studies conducted in various provinces of Turkey determined 15.5-37.5% of the individuals who visited family health centers to be at high/very high risk [10,16,17]. Our study determined a higher number of high-risk individuals than other studies, and this number could be an outcome of us conducting this study with individuals who visited the hospital and had complaints, contrary to other studies.…”

“…According to a systematic review, the risk of diabetes increases with age [22]. A study in Rize found that advancing age increases the risk of diabetes by 1.09 times [10], similar to several other studies [17,18,23].…”

“…In a Norwegian study, 12.1% of females were in the high-risk group, while this figure was 9.6% for males [18]. However, some studies have shown that gender does not affect the risk of diabetes [17,26], and in one study, males have a higher risk than females [23]. Our study determined that almost all of the participants in the very highrisk group had 8 years of education, and are married ( Table 1).…”

“…In the study, we found that almost all (96.7%) patients with chronic disease were at high risk (Table 1), and the presence of chronic disease increased the risk of T2DM by 3.9 times (p = 0.000) ( Table 2). A study determined that the presence of chronic disease increased the risk of diabetes; 21.3% and 17.3% of the individuals with and without the chronic disease had high risk of diabetes, respectively [17]. Another study found that the risk of diabetes is 4.81 times higher in patients with heart disease and 2.6 times higher in patients with hypertension [10].…”

To share the preliminary data of the study being carried out to determine diabetes risks in a hospital located in the center of Kırşehir province in Turkey. The first stage of the research is cross-sectional. The study sample consists of 248 individuals who visited the hospital between April 1 and 30, 2019. The data were collected using a sociodemographic data form and Finnish Diabetes Risk Score scale. A total of 42.3% of the participants are at a high/very high risk of developing type 2 diabetes within the next 10 years. Age, gender, and presence of a chronic disease are accepted as risk factors for type 2 diabetes in the study. Old age (OR = 4.440), being female (OR = 1.95), or existence of a chronic disease (OR = 3.915) increases the risk of type 2 diabetes (p < 0.05). The risk of diabetes is determined to be very high at provincial level and there is a significant relationship between the risk of developing diabetes and risk factors. Province-wide health protection measures should be taken rapidly to prevent diabetes and its complications.

“…Today, diabetes is the most important and frequently seen public health problem owing to an increase in its risk factors. The increase in its prevalence is faster than expected (1)(2)(3). According to the estimates published by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), at the end of 2017, approximately 425 million people had diabetes, and this figure was expected to hit 630 million with an increase of 48% by 2045 (3,4).…”

Aim:The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between healthy lifestyle behaviors and the risk of type 2 diabetes in healthcare professionals. Material and Methods:The study was conducted with 164 volunteering physicians and nurses employed in a Health Practice and Research Hospital in southeastern Turkey. A descriptive questionnaire, the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score and the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale were used to collect the data.Results: It was determined that the diabetes risk levels of the participants were low, while their healthy lifestyle behaviors were on a moderate level. A significant negative correlation was found between the participants' mean diabetes risk scores and their health lifestyle behavior scores (p<0.05). Accordingly, as the levels of the healthy lifestyle behaviors of the participants decreased, their risk of diabetes increased. It was found that other predictors such as the body mass index, high blood glucose and daily exercise had a cumulative effect of up to 65% on the risk of diabetes. Conclusion:Even though the participants' mean age was young, and their mean BMI was in the normal category, their low rates of daily exercise suggested that their risk of type 2 diabetes may increase in the future.

Prediction of a 10-year risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the Turkish population

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

According to the International Diabetes Federation, Turkey will be among the top 10 countries in the world with the highest prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) by 2045, with a speculated number of cases of 10.4 million.This study aimed to predict the 10-year risk of type 2 DM in a Turkish population, assess potential factors of the 10-year risk of DM, and assess the outcomes of Turkey's 2015 to 2020 program for DM.Individuals aged 20–64 years were categorized and stratified according to age (in ranges of 5 years), sex, and populations of family medicine centers to reflect the whole population. The Finnish Diabetes Risk Score, sociodemographic characteristics, body fat, muscle, bone ratio, blood pressure, and waist-to-height ratio were evaluated.We found that 9.5% (n = 71) of the population aged 20 to 64 years will have DM within the next 10 years. Low levels of education (odds ratio [OR]: 2.054; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.011–4.174), smoking cessation (OR: 2.636; 95% CI: 1.260–5.513), a waist-to-height ratio >0.5 (OR: 6.885; 95% CI: 2.301–20.602), body fat percentage (OR: 1.187; 95% CI: 1.130–1.247), high systolic blood pressure (OR: 1.025; 95% CI: 1.009–1.041), and alcohol consumption (beta-estimation: −0.690; OR: 0.501; 95% CI: 0.275–0.914) affect the 10-year risk of type 2 DM.Individuals at risk for DM can be easily identified using risk assessment tools in primary care; however, there is no active screening program in the healthcare system, and only proposals exist. In addition to screening, preventive measures should focus on raising awareness of DM, reducing body fat percentage and systolic blood pressure, and decreasing the waist-to-height ratio to <0.5.
