dc.description.abstract | Objective: In this study, we aimed to compare the FINDRISC questionnaire and the triglyceride/glucose index, used to determine the risk of diabetes in healthy individuals, and to investigate their relationships with obesity. Method: This study was planned as a retrospective review of the files of healthy individuals who had applied to a family medicine polyclinic for a periodic health examination. Sociodemographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, routine laboratory results from the same period, and the FINDRISC diabetes risk score found in the participants' files were recorded in a separate file. The triglyceride/glucose (TyG) index was calculated using the appropriate formula. After the files meeting the exclusion criteria were removed, the study was completed with 879 people. Results: Of the participants, 66.7% (n=586) were male and the mean age was 37.20 +/- 11.8 years. The mean diabetes risk score calculated by FINDRISC for women was 10.92 +/- 4.9 points and the mean TyG index score was 8.56 +/- 0.5 points, while the mean diabetes risk score of men was 8.75 +/- 4.7 points and the mean TyG index score was 8.77 +/- 0.5. There was a statistically significant association between gender and both mean diabetes risk score and TyG index (p<0.001). Of the participants, 17.1% were found to be at high risk of developing diabetes within 10 years by the FINDRISC survey. There was a moderately significant positive correlation between the diabetes risk score and TyG index and body mass index. Conclusion: The FINDRISC questionnaire and TyG index are easy, practical, and cost-effective methods that can be used in primary health care centers in order to determine the risk of developing diabetes in the early period and inform individuals about this issue. | en_US |
