ABSTRACT

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) has shown rapid growth in recent years, so reducing its incidence is a priority of public health policy in both developed and developing countries. The prevention of this disease is the action that normally emanates from health services which considers individuals and populations exposed to identifiable risk factors. These factors often tend to be associated with different risk behaviors of individuals. Modifying these risk behaviors is one of the primary goals of this disease prevention. The purpose of this screening test is to identify individuals at risk of disease having symptoms or not. If screening tests are positive, then a diagnostic test is performed to know whether the patient has the disease.
