CHAILA, María Zulema et al. Relación entre el Finnish Diabetes Risk Score, glucemia en ayunas y hemoglobina A1c. Rev. Soc. Argent. Diabetes [online]. 2023, vol.57, n.2, pp.75-83. ISSN 0325-5247.

Introduction: the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) has high sensitivity and specificity for the identification of people at risk of diabetes mellitus (DM) in various populations. Therefore, we aimed to use this index to identify individuals at risk of having alterations in fasting glycemia (FG) and HbA1c among those who underwent laboratory analysis at ALAC, Argentina.

Objectives: to explore the relationships of the FINDRISC score with the fasting blood glucose (FG) concentration and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level, and to establish appropriate cut-off scores to predict FG ≥100 mg/dL and HbA1c ≥5.7% (38.8 mmol/mol) in this population.

Materials and methods: we recruited 1,175 individuals from 45 ALAC laboratories for whom FG and HbA1c had been measured. We analyzed the data using the chi square test, odds ratios, ANOVA plus Tukey’s post-hoc test, binomial logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.

Results: total FINDRISC score significantly positively correlated with both FG and HbA1c. Of the constituent variables, age ≥45 years, a large waist circumference, a body mass index ≥25 kg/m., a close family history of DM, and the use of antihypertensive medication were significantly associated with FG ≥100 mg/dL and/or HbA1c ≥5.7% (38.8 mmol/mol). However, no significant association was found with physical activity or the daily consumption of fruit and vegetables. The mean FG and HbA1c for individuals with total FINDRISC scores ≤11 were 89.9 mg/dL and 5.2% (33.0 mmol/mol), respectively, which increased to 116.1 mg/dL and 6.1% (43.0 mmol/mol) for individuals with scores ≥21, with a dose/response-type relationship. ROC analysis showed that a FINDRISC of 13 was associated with a sensitivity of 81.89%, a specificity of 67.60%, and a correct diagnosis rate of 70.55% for HbA1c ≥5.7% (38.8 mmol/mol); and a sensitivity of 72.50%, a specificity of 70.62%, and a correct diagnosis rate of 71.20% for FG ≥100 mg/dL.

Conclusions: FINDRISC score increases with increasing FG and HbA1c, and is a useful means of identifying people with FG ≥100 mg/dL and HbA1c ≥5.7% (38.8 mmol/mol).
