Sowunmi, Oluwole Samuel (2023) The validation of a screening tool for use in a faith-based education intervention study in the prediabetic population in an urban town in Nigeria. Doctoral thesis, London Metropolitan University.

Abstract

There is an increasing prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in Nigeria due to economic and nutritional transition, particularly in the urban population. The aim of this study was to find an easy-to-administer, cheap, simple and effective tool to identify people at risk with T2DM and intervene to ultimately reduce the burden of the disease on individuals and the healthcare system in Nigeria. The Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) tool was used to assess the prevalence of T2DM and obesity in an urban town in Nigeria and was validated with HbA 1c and fasting blood glucose. Participated identified as at risk were invited to attend a culturally-specific faith-based intervention educational program.
