One of the challenges for public health in the coming years is the expected increase of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) prevalence and its resulting health burden and costs.1- 2 For the physician, although recommendations regarding who to screen for T2DM are available, the application of a validated risk score would enable a better targeting of high-risk subjects and thus an improvement of preventive measures. Indeed, numerous risk scores for T2DM have been developed, but few studies have compared them in populations different from those they have been derived from. It is also unclear whether all risk scores have the same prognostic validity.
