Objective: to determine the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the health staff of Alfredo Noboa Montenegro Hospital. Materials and methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted during the period October 2015 to February 2016 in 90 health workers in the declared context. The FINDRISC (Finish Diabetes Risk Score) questionnaire was applied. Results: considering there were 90 subjects, 70% (63) were women and 30% (27) men, the average age was 42.8 years with a standard deviation of +/- 10.4. It was found that 35.6% (32) had a Low Risk, 33.3% (30) Slightly High Risk, 20% (18) Moderate Risk, 10% (9) High Risk and 1.1 % (1) Very High Risk of Diabetes Mellitus type 2 to 10 years. The highest risk was identified in the female sex. The BMI ≥ 25 Kg / m2 had an OR of 5.0 (95% CI: 2,610 - 9,578, p <0.0005), abdominal perimeter ≥ 80 cm in women presented an OR of 8.0 (95% CI: 3,645 - 10,321, p <0.0005), use of antihypertensives OR 9.32 (95% CI: 2.285 - 37.976, p of 0.002), family history OR 11.31 (95% CI: 3.951 - 32.362, p <0.0005), physical activity OR 0.33 (95% CI 0.126-0.861, p 0.023). Conclusions: the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus with a FINDRISC score greater than or equal to 12 was 31.1%. The main risk factors were a body mass index ≥ 25 Kg / m2, abdominal perimeter ≥ 80 cm for women, use of antihypertensive drugs and a family history of diabetes mellitus.
