Анализ на риска за развитие на диабет тип 2 с FINDRISK при млади и възрастни в различни икономически сектори
Estimating the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Trough FINDRISK Among Young and Older Workers in Different Economic Sectors

Summary/Abstract: The risk for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus is examined using the FINDRISK questionnaire in parallel with the study of serum lipids and fasting blood glucose within the framework of Project EPSILON - European Partnerships for Prevention and Social Innovations for Doctors through Trainings and Science, financed under the Operational Program “Development” of human resources, 150 workers from two age groups of four economic sectors (construction, clothing, hairdressing and cosmetics, and healthcare) were surveyed. 4.3% of the young workers and 20% of older have a high and very high risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the next 10 years. There was not a significant difference in the risk of developing diabetes in the different economic sectors in both age groups (Kruskal Wallis Test to 25 years - p = 0.453 and over 55 years- p = 0,369). There is a significant association between the risk for diabetes and HDL (p = 0.018), LDL (r = 0.313, p = 0.047), systolic (r = 0.449, p = 0.003) and diastolic (r = 0.408, p = 0.007) blood pressure in young workers. In the age group over 55 years, there is a link between the risk of diabetes and HDL (r = - 0.255, p = 0.009), triglycerides (r = 0.397, p = 0.000), glucose (r = 0.418, p = 0.000) and length of service (r = 0.239, p = 0.015). The results require further research on the possibilities for predicting the onset of diabetes type 2 in older workers with different occupations.
