Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major global public health concern, with Kuwait experiencing one of the highest prevalence rates worldwide, affecting approximately one quarter of adults. The Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) is a simple, co...
Background and Objectives: To determine whether continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-derived metrics can differentiate between normoglycemia, increased diabetes risk (FINDRISC+) and prediabetes and to assess whether CGM-derived metrics provide additio...
Background/Objectives: Emotional eating has been linked to neurobiological mechanisms similar to those observed in addictive behaviors, and this occurrence appears not fully understood, even in academic communities/environments. To supplement existin...
Background: Lifestyle interventions halt the progression of prediabetes to frank type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the feasibility of a diabetes prevention program promoting tailored interventions on a national scale and conducted by primary care physi...
Background/Objectives: Opportunistic diabetes screening in dental clinics is an innovative strategy with significant public health implications. Methods: This prospective observational study assessed diabetes risk and referral compliance among period...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represents a growing public health concern in Indigenous populations, where early risk identification remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the association between estimated T2DM risk and cardiorespiratory endur...
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationships between dietary habits, income levels and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk in Turkish female university students who are living with their family or in the dormitory. Materials and Methods: T...
Introduction: The global prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing rapidly, especially in low- and middle-income countries and has a high number of associated comorbidities. Plasmatic concentrations of branched chain amino acids (BCAA) and re...
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a global health concern driven by aging, lifestyle, and socio-economic disparities. Early detection is key, with tools like FINDRISC, QDScore, and CANRISK providing non-invasive screening. Yet, the combi...
Background: Psychosocial well-being has been increasingly recognized as a relevant factor in cardiometabolic health; however, evidence linking Purpose in Life with type 2 diabetes risk across validated prediction tools remains limited. This study exa...
Background: The coexistence of malnutrition due to over- and under-nutrition in the Peruvian Amazon increases chronic diseases and cardiovascular risk. Methods: A cross-sectional study of a male population where anthropometric, clinical, and demograp...
Aim: to analyze the efficacy of an educational online intervention focused on lifestyle changes in reducing body weight from baseline to 6 months in the pre-diabetic population of 18–45 years old in Extremadura (Spain). Methods: a single-blind,...
Aims: To evaluate arterial stiffness indicators in people with prediabetes (PreD) and its possible pathogenesis. Materials and methods: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured in 208 people with FINDRISC ≥ 13 (57 ± 8 years old, 68.7% women) and therea...
Early detection of people with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) is an important public health concern. Several predictive equations for T2D have been proposed but most of them have not been externally validated and their performance could be comprom...
Background and Objectives: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and prediabetes represent major global health concerns, with obesity being a key risk factor. However, recent evidence suggests that the adipose tissue composition and distribution play a more critical...
