Abstract

Background: It is important to collect data as an initial screening for prediabetes in an early effort to control diabetes. This study aims to determine the frequency distribution of prediabetes among the population in Semarang City.


Method: This research method is descriptive quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. The research instrument used was the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC. The sample size was 246, conducted from August 16 to November 4, 2023, in Semarang City.


Result: Most residents of Semarang City are at low risk (67.9%) of developing diabetes mellitus within 10 years; however, some respondents are at slightly high risk (19.9%), moderate risk (11.0%), and high risk (1.2%) of developing diabetes within 10 years. This condition can be influenced by the current health condition of the respondents, which shows that most respondents have a body mass index and waist circumference of more than the normal values. Through statistical tests, it was shown that body mass index, waist circumference in women, current blood sugar, family history of diabetes, and consumption of hypertension drugs were associated with an increased risk of diabetes with a p-value <0.05. On the other hand, consumption of fruits and vegetables was not statistically related, p-value>0.05.


Conclusion: Most residents of Semarang City are at low risk of developing diabetes mellitus; however, a proportion of respondents fall into slightly high to high-risk categories. Promotive and preventive interventions to control prediabetes and reduce the progression to diabetes are needed.
