Who it helps
- BMI is calculated from height and weight and the 0–26 total has five bands. This educational Finnish-cohort screening estimate is not a diagnosis or a guaranteed ten-year outcome.
- The original fixed FINDRISC score covers age, BMI, formula waist category, daily activity, daily produce, antihypertensive use, prior high glucose, and family history; totals are low 0–6, slightly elevated 7–11, moderate 12–14, high 15–20, and very high 21–26. It supports screening discussion and cannot diagnose.
- a completed eight-item score of 13 shows each contribution and a moderate screening estimate, suggesting consideration of formal glucose screening rather than declaring diabetes.

FAQ
FINDRISC type 2 diabetes risk calculator:Who is this questionnaire for?
It is for adults aged 18–120 without diagnosed diabetes. Enter age, height, weight, the original model waist-threshold category and waist, plus activity, produce intake, blood-pressure medicine, prior high glucose, and family history. Pregnancy, prior gestational diabetes, or diagnosed diabetes blocks the generic score and directs you to professional screening guidance.
FINDRISC type 2 diabetes risk calculator:How is the score produced?
The original fixed eight-factor FINDRISC table is used, BMI is calculated from height and weight, and the 0–26 total shows each contribution and a low, slightly elevated, moderate, high, or very high category. It is a Finnish-cohort ten-year screening estimate, not a diagnosis.
FINDRISC type 2 diabetes risk calculator:What are the result limitations?
Performance can differ across populations, the score cannot guarantee a ten-year outcome, and it neither diagnoses nor excludes diabetes. Moderate or higher results can support considering or discussing formal glucose screening; symptoms and individual risks should not be judged from this score alone.
FINDRISC type 2 diabetes risk calculator:Are questionnaire answers sent anywhere?
No. Age, original-formula waist category, height, weight, waist, answers, score, and category stay in current browser memory and are not uploaded or stored. GA4 does not contain those data.
