Resumen

Background: In diabetes mellitus there is an interaction between genetic and metabolic factors, and it increases when other antecedents are combined. Objective: To determine the correlation between family pathological history and incidence of diabetes. Methods: Cross-sectional epidemiological study of 191 workers, those with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus were excluded. The Tuomilehto and Lindström questionnaire was adapted and Spearman's Rho correlation was performed with the IBM-SPSS vs 27 program. Results: The risk of developing diabetes with family pathological history was 0.615 (p<0.001); administrative personnel 0.684 (p<0.001) and assistants 0.604 (p<0.001), with physical activity 0.583 (p<0.001) and those who did not 0.661 (p<0.001); according to BMI, with overweight, 0.657 (p<0.001) and obesity, 0.411 (p<0.001). In male assistants with physical activity 0.701 (p<0.001), and increase to 0.709 (p=0.001) if overweight, in administrative women 0.674 (p<0.001), this value increases to 0.816 (p=0.001) when overweight. Conclusions: There is a correlation between family pathological history and incidence of diabetes, with a greater influence on overweight health personnel.
