📐 How diabetes risk is assessed

Diabetes risk is assessed using multiple risk factors. Here's the breakdown:

Risk factors include:

  • Age: Risk increases with age
  • BMI: Overweight (25+) increases risk
  • Family History: Parent/sibling with diabetes
  • Physical Activity: Sedentary lifestyle increases risk
  • Smoking: Increases diabetes risk
  • High Blood Pressure: Associated with diabetes risk
  • Gestational Diabetes: Increases future risk
Example: 45-year-old, BMI 28, family history, moderate activity
Risk Score = 5 out of 10
Risk Level = Moderate

Key insight: Type 2 diabetes is largely preventable. Lifestyle changes like healthy eating, exercise, and weight management can significantly reduce your risk.
