Diabetes Findrisk

Type 2 diabetes risk assessment form.

The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates that as many as 212 million people, or half of all adults currently living with diabetes, are undiagnosed. Most of these have type 2 diabetes.

IDF has created an online diabetes risk assessment which aims to predict an individual’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes within the next ten years. The test is based on the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) developed and designed by Adj. Prof Jaana Lindstrom and Prof. Jaakko Tuomilehto from the National Institute for Health and Welfare, Helsinki, Finland.

The test takes only a couple of minutes to complete. It is a quick, easy, and confidential way to find out your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Body Mass index
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple number calculated from your weight and height. It helps determine if you are underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. You can calculate it by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared (kg/m²). For example, a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy. It's a quick way to check if your weight is in a healthy range, but it doesn't measure body fat directly.
