The objective of this study seeks to evaluate the degree of understanding about type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults, focusing on the factors that increase the risk, in the attendees of the IPRESS Progreso, San Juan Bautista in the year 2024. Methodology: It was used a quantitative and descriptive approach, using a non-experimental, cross-sectional, prospective and correlational design. The sample consisted of 100 adults aged 20 years and older. Data collection was carried out using two validated instruments. Results: Of the total number of adults surveyed, 70% demonstrated a level of knowledge about type 2 diabetes mellitus. Distribution by gender revealed that 56% were women, while 60% were under 45 years of age. Regarding the body mass index (BMI), 54% had values between 25 and 30. In addition, 80% reported not doing physical activity, 86% were not receiving treatment for high blood pressure, and 88% did not have elevated glucose levels. Regarding a family history of diabetes mellitus, 58% of the participants stated they had it, and 44% showed a moderate-high risk level. Conclusions: A significant association will be observed between the level of knowledge about type 2 diabetes mellitus and several risk factors in adults, including sex (p=0.02256), age (p=0.033), BMI (p=0.01893 ). ), physical activity (p=0.01376), lack of treatment for high blood pressure (p=0.03055), and family history of diabetes (p=0.0005139). This suggests an evaluation between knowledge about type 2 diabetes mellitus and risk factors in the adult population (p<0.05, p=0.000).
