Mohan et al developed the Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) to screen adult Indians for diabetes. This can help identify patients who have a higher risk for the disease. the authors are from Madras Diabetes Research Foundation and the Dr MV Diabetes Specialities Centre in Gopalapuram, Chennai, India.
Parameters:
(1) age in years
(2) abdominal obesity and gender
(3) physical activity
(4) family history of diabetes

total score =
= SUM(points for all 4 parameters)
Interpretation:
• minimum score: 0
• maximum score: 100
• The higher the score the greater the risk of diabetes.
• A score >= 60 was associated with an increased risk for diabetes.
Performance at the cutoff of >= 60:
• The sensitivity was 73% and specificity 60%.
• The positive predictive value was 17% with a negative predictive value of 95%.
Purpose: To evaluate an adult Indian for the risk of diabetes using the Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) of Mohan et al.
Specialty: Endocrinology, Clinical Laboratory
