    Introducción y objetivo: La obesidad es un trastorno metabólico que se caracteriza por la acumulación excesiva del tejido adiposo en el cuerpo y guarda relación con la aparición de alteraciones en el metabolismo de la glucemia, ya sea prediabetes o diabetes tipo 2. Existen diferentes escalas que valoran el riesgo de diabetes, siendo la más utilizada la de Findrisc. El objetivo de este estudio es conocer la relación de varias escalas de sobrepeso y obesidad con los valores de la escala de Findrisc.

    Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo y transversal en 48.366 trabajadores españoles en los que se determina el riesgo de padecer diabetes tipo 2 mediante la escala Findrisc. También se valoran diferentes escalas de sobrepeso y obesidad como IMC, cintura/altura, cintura/cadera, índice de adiposidad corporal e índice de volumen abdominal.

    Resultados: La prevalencia de valores elevados de todas las escalas analizadas en este estudio son mucho mayores en aquellas personas que presentan un alto riesgo de padecer diabetes tipo 2. Esta prevalencia es mayor en los hombres.

    Conclusión: Existe una clara relación entre los valores de la escala de Findrisc y los valores de todas las escalas de sobrepeso y obesidad analizadas.

    Introduction and objective: Obesity is a metabolic disorder characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in the body and is associated with the development of abnormalities in blood glucose metabolism, either pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes.

    There are different scales that assess the risk of diabetes, the most widely used being the Findrisc scale. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship of various scales of overweight and obesity with the values of the Findrisc scale.

    Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study of 48,366 Spanish workers in which the risk of type 2 diabetes was determined using the Findrisc scale. Different scales of overweight and obesity such as BMI, waist/height, waist/hip, body adiposity index and abdominal volume index were also assessed.

    Results: The prevalence of high values of all the scales analyzed in this study are much higher in those people who are at high risk of type 2 diabetes. This prevalence is higher in men.

    Conclusion: There is a clear relationship between the values of the Findrisc scale and the values of all the overweight and obesity scales analyzed.
