The FINDRISC (Finish Diabetes Risk Score) questionnaire was applied. Results: considering there were 90 subjects, 70% (63) were women and 30% (27) men, the average age was 42.8 years with a standard deviation of +/- 10.4. It was found that 35.6% (32) had a Low Risk, 33.3% (30) Slightly High Risk, 20% (18) Moderate Risk, 10% (9) High Risk and 1.1 % (1) Very High Risk of Diabetes Mellitus type 2 to 10 years. The highest risk was identified in the female sex. The BMI ≥ 25 Kg / m2 had an OR of 5.0 (95% CI: 2,610 - 9,578, p <0.0005), abdominal perimeter ≥ 80 cm in women presented an OR of 8.0 (95% CI: 3,645 - 10,321, p <0.0005), use of antihypertensives OR 9.32 (95% CI: 2.285 - 37.976, p of 0.002), family history OR 11.31 (95% CI: 3.951 - 32.362, p <0.0005), physical activity OR 0.33 (95% CI 0.126-0.861, p 0.023). Conclusions: the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus with a FINDRISC score greater than or equal to 12 was 31.1%.
