Abstract:

Introduction In 2021, the International Diabetes Federation, reported 536 million people with diabetes, mainly from countries with lower income. Methods A cross-sectional descriptive study was employed using the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC), a validated questionnaire which determines the risk of developing diabetes. The questionnaire was conducted online to be accomplished by students enrolled in universities located in Quezon City. Results Among the 178 college students in Quezon City, with average age of 20 years old, 28.1% are at risk of developing T2DM. The factors contributing to the risk were: (1) Lack of physical activity of at least 30 minutes a day (51.7%); (2) lack of daily intake of vegetables and fruits or berries (52.8%); and (3) family history of DM (74.7%). Conclusion The study found that one in every four college students in Quezon City is at risk of developing T2DM in the next ten years.
