1127-P: Diabetes Risk in Marginalized Urban Settings in Mexico City

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Mexico. Routine identification of persons with high risk for developing T2D is poorly executed in low- and middle-income countries. Thus, we aimed to analyze the characteristics of participants of a public health initiative to identify diabetes risk (SaludEnTuVida/Health In Your Life) in habitants of the mayoralty of Iztapalapa in Mexico City. The mayoralty of Iztapalapa is characterized by being a densely populated area, with a high index of marginalization, and adverse determinants of health. FINDRISC score (FDS) was used to assess the risk of T2D in adults over 20 years of age from September to December 2021. Data from 15,271 participants was analyzed. The mean age of participants was 46.3±15.4 years, most participants were woman (67%) , and with secondary or less education (59.8%) . The following proportions of risk factors were reported: first degree familiar history of T2D in 52.6%, overweight in 41.3%, obesity in 32%, and hypertension in 14.4%. Low risk with FDS
