| description | Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease with high global prevalence, affecting 463 million people and projected to reach 642 million by 2040. In Ecuador, it is one of the main causes of mortality, especially among women. Objective: To evaluate the risk of this disease in students of an educational institute using the Findrisk test. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out, applying the Findrisk test to 234 students. The sampling was non-probabilistic by convenience, and the data were processed with SPSS version 22. Results and discussion: 58.5% of the students had a low risk of developing diabetes. Most of the students had a normal weight BMI (52.1%), although 28.6% were overweight and 15.8% obese. Regarding abdominal perimeter, 65% of the students had normal measurements, but 35% were at high or very high risk. The youth of the population studied explains the predominance of low risk. However, there was a trend of increased risk associated with sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits, exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions: The risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus is mostly low in the population studied, but educational and physical activity programs should be implemented to mitigate the risks associated with sedentary lifestyle and poor diet. |
