Popis: Objective: to determine the size of the population at risk of developing diabetes mellitus in the population of the municipality of Gral. Pueyrredón who go-attend to Health Centers for Primary Care. Materials y methods: observational study to determine the risk of developing DM2, through an interview where questions were asked about the 8 questions Questionnaire FINDRISC. Results: the study sample consisted of 2.784 patients, 54% were women. Age was grouped in less than 45 years old 47.5% (1.323) from 45 to 54 years old 20.9% (582) from 55 to 64 years old 18.3% (510), and over 64 years old 13.2% (368). 20% of the population has a score of the risk scale questionnaire FINDRISC greater than or equal to 15, high risk to very high risk of developing diabetes in the next 10 years. The 43,38% showed a BMI >30 and 25.97% was currently receiving medication for high blood pressure. The 55.37% reported low physical activity, 50.79% do not eat vegetables and fruits on a daily basis and 17.98% declared high blood glucose. The variables most commonly associated with a risk score >15 were: sedentary lifestyle (80.9%), waist >102/88 (65.7/77.2%), history of hyperglycemia (64.0%), unhealthy diet (61.9%) and BMI>30 (61.8%). The risk >15 according to BMI was: BMI 30 45.4%. Conclusions: 20% of the surveyed population is at high risk for diabetes. One of every 2 or 3 non-diabetic patients attending to a primary care center have a FINDRISC >15. This diabetes risk scale is a simple, inexpensive tool, making quick, noninvasive and safe exploration to identify individuals at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It also can be used to identify undetected DM2 and risk factors for cardio vascular disease.
