Development of a clinical risk score for incident diabetes: A 10-year prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

We developed a self-assessable Korean Diabetes Risk score using the data of the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study.

Materials and methods

A total of 8,740 participants without diabetes at baseline were followed up biannually over a period of 10 years. We included variables that were significantly different between participants who developed diabetes mellitus and those who did not in the development cohort at baseline. We assigned a maximum score of 100 to the selected variable in each gender group. Next, the 10-year probability of incident diabetes was calculated and validated in the validation cohort. Finally, we compared the predictive power of Korean Diabetes Risk score with models including fasting plasma glucose or glycated hemoglobin and other cohor
