Validation of Existing Diabetes Risk Models in a Swedish Population

The goal of this observational study is to validate existing non-invasive diabetes clinical prediction models in a Swedish population. The main question it aims to answer is: how well 11 existing models will perform in predicting incident type 2 diabetes in participants from the Västerbotten Intervention programme (VIP). Participants in VIP are residents of Västerbotten that are invited for a comprehensive health screening at 30- (until 1995), 40-, 50-, and 60-years of age.

Inclusion Criteria:• At least one visit within the Västerbotten Intervention programExclusion Criteria:• Prevalent diabetes at first visit defined by a fasting capillary plasma glucose >7mmol/L, a 2-hour capillary plasma glucose of ≥12.2 mmol/L or self-reported history of diabetes
