Özet:

 Aim: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the type 2 Diabetes Mellitus T2DM risks of individuals working at a university and to investigate the associated factors. Method: The study was conducted by 317 individuals working on the central campus of a state university in the Eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey. Data of the study was collected using a questionnaire including socio-demographical characteristics and Finnish Diabetes Risk Score FINDRISC. The data distribution was evaluated with the KolmogorovSmirnov Test. Descriptive statistics number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, one-way ANOVA were used to evaluate the data, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare data that did not show normal distribution. Results: The mean age of the participants in the study was 41.09.2 years, 64.3 were male, 41.0 were undergraduate, 37.3 were postgraduates, and 33.1 were academic personnel. According to the FINDRISC scale, the T2DM risk scores of the participants were 35.6 low, 41.0 mild, 12.6 moderate, 9.5 high risk, and 1.3 very high risk. The related factors for the development of diabetes in the research group are smoking, hypertension, having diabetes in the first degree in the family, physical activity status, waist circumference and waistheight ratio. Conclusion: In the study, approximately one in ten people are at high risk of developing T2DM. The results show that university personnel need to be monitored more closely for T2DM, as the research population is focused on work life and daily tasks on desk and computer use.

 Amaç: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipte olan bu araştırmanın amacı bir üniversitede çalışan bireylerin tip 2 Diabetes Mellitus T2DM risklerini belirlenmek ve ilişkili faktörleri saptamaktır. Yöntem: Bu araştırma Türkiyenin Doğu Akdeniz bölgesinde bulunan bir devlet üniversitesinin merkez kampüsünde görev yapan toplam 317 birey ile yapılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında sosyodemografik veri toplama formu ve Fin Diyabet Risk Skoru Ölçeği FINDRISK kullanılmıştır. Verilerin dağılıma uygunluğu Kolmogorov Smirnov Testi ile incelenmiştir. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistik sayı, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma, t-testi, One Way ANOVA ve normal dağılım göstermeyen verilere ilişkin karşılaştırmalar için Mann-Whitney U testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 419,2 yıl, 64,3ü n205 erkek, 41i lisans mezunu 37,3ü lisansüstü mezun, 33,1i akademik personeldir. Katılımcıların FINDRISK ölçeğine göre tip-2 diyabet risk derecesi 35,6sının düşük, 41inin hafif, 12,6sının orta, 9,5inin yüksek ve 1,3ünün ise çok yüksektir. Araştırma grubunda diyabet gelişimi için ilişkili faktörler ise sigara kullanma, hipertansiyon, ailede birinci derecede diyabet olması, fiziksel aktivite durumu, bel çevresi ve belboy oranıdır. Sonuç: Araştırmada yaklaşık her 10 kişiden biri T2DM gelişimi açısından yüksek risk taşımaktadır. Sonuçlara göre üniversite personelleri, iş yaşantısı ve günlük görevlerin masa başı ve bilgisayar kullanımı üzerine olması nedeniyle T2DM açısından daha yakından izlenmelidir.
