Diabetes self-assessment score and the development of diabetes: A 10-year prospective study.

ABSTRACT: To verify that the Korean Diabetes Score (KDS), a self-assessment, predicts the risk of diabetes in various comprehensive risk models, and to investigate factors that enhance its predictive ability in a large cohort. We analyzed 8735 adults without diabetes in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, an ongoing large community-based 10-year cohort study. Incident diabetes was defined as fasting blood glucose ?126?mg/dL or postload 2-hour glucose ?200?mg/dL by 75?g oral glucose tolerance test conducted biennually, or currently taking medication for diabetes. Hazard ratios (HRs) using Cox regression were calculated for relative risk of developing diabetes as associated with the KDS, and performance of risk models was assessed by area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC). Of 8735 participants, 1497 (17.1%) developed diabetes over 10 years. The prevalence of incident diabetes was 10.3% in people with a KDS <5 and was 21.8% in those with KDS ?5 (P?
