ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to develop a simple non-invasive risk score, specific to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) citizens, to identify individuals at increased risk of having undiagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus.Research design and methodsA retrospective analysis of the UAE National Diabetes and Lifestyle data was conducted. The data included demographic and anthropometric measurements, and fasting blood glucose. Univariate analyses were used to identify the risk factors for diabetes. The risk score was developed for UAE citizens using a stepwise forward regression model.ResultsA total of 872 UAE citizens were studied. The overall prevalence of diabetes in the UAE adult citizens in the Northern Emirates was 25.1%. The significant risk factors identified for diabetes were age (≥35 years), a family history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, body mass index ≥30.0 and waist-to-hip ratio ≥0.90 for males and ≥0.85 for females. The performance of the model was moderate in terms of sensitivity (75.4%, 95% CI 68.3 to 81.7) and specificity (70%, 95% CI 65.8 to 73.9). The area under the receiver-operator characteristic curve was 0.82 (95% CI 0.78 to 0.86).ConclusionsA simple, non-invasive risk score model was developed to help to identify those at high risk of having diabetes among UAE citizens. This score could contribute to the efficient and less expensive earlier detection of diabetes in this high-risk population.

Objective: As the cardiovascular disease produced by the association of the hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus in elderly people is a worldwide disturb of the actually, this work was done by a research at the PubMed database. Background: The cardiovascular characteristics expressed the quality of life meliorate, the risk factors that occurs, the use of non-invasive cardiovascular tests, the diabetes prevention programs, and the new physical therapies. Material and methods: The research was done through of the use of the key-words: hypertension and cardiovascular diseases and diabetes and elderly and therapy, and exercise in PubMed database. Results: It was founded 36 publications about this theme and put all together to find characteristics that are bellowed to these cardiovascular diseases. Conclusion: This new short review not pretends to fulfil the theme but it was to show ways of successful treatments.
