INTRODUCTION Recently, the International Diabetes Federation reported that the number of individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) had increased worldwide, especially in Brazil, which placed this country in fifth place among the countries with the most people with diabetes mellitus. 1 Given this reality, strategies are being sought in an attempt to easily and cost-effectively screen individuals with high potential to develop T2DM, in order to implement preventive measures against the onset of the disease. In this context, use of questionnaires has been an ally in screening for several other diseases. 2-5 A few questionnaires directed towards people with T2DM have been validated for Brazilian Portuguese, including the Diabetes Quality of Life Measure, 6 Diabetes Mellitus Knowledge and Attitude Questionnaire 5 and Diabetes Self-Care Activities. 7 With regard to the risk of developing T2DM, there is no validated questionnaire for use in Brazilian Portuguese for these purposes. The Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) is a questionnaire that was developed in Finnish and English in 2003 by Finnish researchers. It had the aims of tracking the risk of diabetes and stimulating the adoption of measures to prevent the onset of T2DM, especially for individuals who are at increased risk of the disease, but without the need for low-cost laboratory tests. 8 Some articles using the FINDRISC have already been published in Brazilian Portuguese, 9,10 even without proper translation, cross-cultural adaptation or validation of the questionnaire for this language. However, the FINDRISC has already been validated for other languages, including those spoken by the populations of Spain, 11

Objetivo: Avaliar a relação entre fatores de risco para diabetes mellitus e qualidade de vida em servidores homens do campus universitário marco zero da Universidade Federal do Amapá. Métodos: estudo transversal com 103 homens em Macapá-Amapá. Utilizou-se o Finnish Diabetes Risk Score - FINDRISC e o Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12). Para o estudo da relação entre fatores de risco para diabetes mellitus e a qualidade de vida, utlizou-se os coeficientes de Correlação de Pearson e de Spearman, o Teste T de Student e a ANOVA. Resultados: correlação positiva (R=0,345;p<0,001) entre idade e a dimensão psicológica da qualidade de vida; correlçao negativa entre FINDRISC com a dimensão física (R= - 0,312, p=0,001) e dimensão psicológica (R= -0,201, p=0,042) da qualidade de vida, indicando melhor qualidade de vida menor risco de desenvolver diabetes. Conclusão: O risco para diabetes entre os servidores homens participantes deste estudo apresentou correlação com qualidade de vida para as dimensões fisica e psicológica, demonstrando quanto menor os fatores de risco, melhor a qualidade de vida.Implicações para prática: Avaliação da relação entre os fatores de risco para diabetes e qualidade de vida contribui na atenção a saúde do homem, criando possibilidades à construção de protocolos para assitência integral.
Objetivo: Rastrear os fatores de risco para o diabetes tipo 2 em estudantes de medicina, em uma universidade do sul do Maranhão. Justificativa: A maior parte da população com diabetes não sabe que é portadora; algumas vezes, permanecendo não diagnosticada até que se manifestem as complicações, sobretudo em idades que, há décadas, não costumava ser comum tal diagnóstico. Pesquisas realizadas com jovens como, por exemplo, os acadêmicos de medicina, se torna um campo amostral ideal para identificação de princípios desencadeantes de diabetes. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, de cunho quantitativo, cuja coleta de dados se deu através da aplicação do formulário FINDRISK (Finnish Diabetes Risk Score), adequado para a realidade brasileira, direcionado para uma população de 181 estudantes. Resultados: Constatou-se um risco alto para homens com 1,7%, mais prevalente no ciclo clínico com 1,1%. O perfil antropométrico apontou cintura de 102 cm (2,0%) e 1,1% com síndrome metabólica; o perfil nutricional apontou que 119 pessoas consomem vegetais, e que 76 indivíduos consomem frituras. Quanto ao histórico familiar, 1,1% possuem parentes de primeiro grau com DM2 1 e hipertenso. Conclusão: O estilo de vida implicou para altos risco de DM2, especialmente no ciclo clínico e internato. Fatores como, o IMC, a circunferência abdominal masculina e sedentarismo foram os achados mais significativos nessa população.
