The African diabetes risk score, in those without prior diabetes. SADPP, South African diabetes prevention program.

SADPP Risk Score Calculation
Regression coefficients of the model
Variable Coefficient
Age (per 1-year increase) 0.045
Waist Circumference (per cm increase) 0.048
Hypertension (present (1) vs. absent (0)) 0.649
Intercept −11.012

Diabetes score = 100 × (1 ÷ (1 + exp (−(−(11.012) + 0.045 × A+0.048 × ((B + C) ÷ 2) + 0.649 × (D))))). Where A–Age, B–Waist circumference 1 in cm, C–Waist circumference 2 in cm, D–Hypertension: Yes, if Systolic = 140 or more or Diastolic = 90 or more or if self-reported history of doctor diagnosed hypertension. Participants with a score >1.46 (Black) or >1.15 (mixed ancestry).
