epidemic of cardiovascular diseases. The Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) was initially developed as a simple
tool to help detect undiagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus among South Indian population .
Objectives:
To determine the association between IDRS and cardiovascular risk factors among normoglycemic
individuals
Methodology
: A total of 30 0 normoglycemic patients attending Medicine OPD who fulfilled the inclusion
criteria were selected after obtaining informed written consent. Anthropometric measurements and blood
pressure was recorded at the time of visit. Patients were subjected to blood.....
Keywords : Indian Diabetic Risk score, Cardiovascular Risk, Framingham Hard Coronary Risk Score
