Risk Assessment

This tool uses the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC), the most widely validated instrument for estimating Type 2 diabetes risk over 10 years. Every input below contributes to the score.

About this tool

The Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) was developed from a 20-year follow-up of a Finnish population cohort. It is one of the most widely validated risk tools internationally.

It estimates the 10-year risk of developing Type 2 diabetes in adults without a current diagnosis.
