Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity are currently among the most common non-communicable diseases in the world. According to IDF experts in 2015, 415 million people suffered from diabetes, more than 90% of them are in T2D, and half of the disease is hidden and not timely diagnosed.

Aim: To determine risk factors and ten-year T2D risk with FINDRISK questionnare.

Materials and methods: We included 566 people who were proposed to write in FINDRISK questionnaire. We measured height, weight, waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI) and blood glucose which was measured by rapid test method. Patients with history of diabetes were excluded. Results are presented as M±SE, differences were statistically significant at P<0.05.

Results: The study included 310 men aged 48.11±16.35 years, and 256 women aged 48.91±14.53 years. The average age of participants in the action was 44.26±12.62 years, BMI 25.09±3.16 kg/m2 and blood glucose 5.02±0.42 mmol/l. 46.9% of participants were at low risk for T2D, men (63.7%) were twice as much as women (35.2%) (P<0.05). A low risk of developing CD2 is characteristic of young and middle-aged patients (44.26±12.62 years), height 171.65±8.07 cm, weight 74.19±10.73 kg, with normal or overweight (BMI 25.09±3.16 kg/m2), WC 83.35±7.89 cm and normal blood glucose 5.02±0.42 mmol/l. 6.2% were registered as patients with high risk, men (44.4%) were a slightly less than women (55.6%). The average age was 55.94±5.61 years, BMI 31,66±2,55 kg/m2, WC 100,72±8,39 cm, blood glucose 5.43±0.46 mmol/l. According to the results of the study very high risk group of the patients was not identified. In the older age group (over 45 years) the proportion of patients at high risk is significantly more prevalent over the proportion of patients under the age of 45 years with the same risk (R< 0.001). Hyperglycemia was detected in 43 participants (7.6%) that was mostly in respondents with increased risk for T2D. During the course of correlation analysis it was found that the age of the respondent (R=0.25), WC (R=0.24), BMI (R=0.22), hyperglycemia anamnesis (R=0.21), arterial hypertension (R=0.20) have the greatest impact on the detection of hyperglycemia.
