Background: The application of risk scores are non-invasive tools to detect the population with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes and provide early clinical management. Among the many diabetes risk scoring tools developed from different populations to identify people at high risk of developing diabetes, the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) is the most widely used risk score due to its validity and ease of application. General objective: Determine the individual risk of suffering from type 2 diabetes through the use of the FINDRISC scale, in patients aged 18 to 65 years treated at the Patutan Type B Health Center. Methodology: The present study is observational, descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional. Results:The population was made up of 680 people; 58.4% men, 49.9% high school graduates, 45.1% married, 59.9% with BMI 25-30, 55.9% did not do physical activity, 59.1% did not eat fruits, 64.4% did not took blood pressure medication, 75.4% had no history of hyperglycemia, 50.9% had no family history of diabetes, and mean age was 42.6 years. When applying the FINDRISC score, 26.2% had a high risk of suffering from diabetes mellitus, 24% had a slight risk, 21.9% had a low risk and 17.1% had a very high risk of suffering from diabetes mellitus, which when dichotomized with a cut-off point of 12, it was observed that 45.7% of the studied population had a low risk of developing diabetes, while 54.2% had a high risk of developing diabetes mellitus. Conclusions: In the present study, using the FINDRISC scale in the population allowed us to know that most of them have a high risk of suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus, with the majority being males affected.
