A significant rise in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the Middle-east and North Africa (MENA) region has seen over the last few decades. The present observational study aimed to evaluate and compare the risk of developing T2DM in the cities of Riyadh and Amman using the Arab Diabetes Risk Assessment Questionnaire (ARABRISK).The ARABRISK was administered in a total of 1116 healthy male and female individuals in the age group of 40 to 74 years with no prior history of diabetes in the city of Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) and Amman (Jordan). ARABRISK is an Arabic version of the Canadian Diabetes Risk Assessment Questionnaire (CANRISK), which was adapted and validated for the use in Arab-speaking individuals in Saudi Arabia and Jordan.The participants from Amman region had higher mean total ARABRISK score compared to the Riyadh region for all categories of ARABRISK. However, the difference was significant in both low- and high-risk categories (P = .02 and P = .01, respectively) but not significant for moderate category (P = .17). In the Riyadh population, female participants had significantly higher ARABRISK total scores compared to male in both moderate- and high-risk categories (P = .01). However, in the Amman population, male participants had significantly higher ARABRISK total scores compared to female in both low- and moderate-risk categories (P = .01).The present study suggested an increased risk of developing T2DM in the cities of Riyadh and Amman. However, the population of Amman had a higher risk of developing T2DM compared to the population of Riyadh.
在过去几十年中，中东和北非（MENA）地区2型糖尿病（T2DM）的患病率显著上升。本观察性研究旨在使用阿拉伯糖尿病风险评估问卷（ARABRISK）评估和比较利雅得市和安曼市患T2DM的风险。
在利雅得市（沙特阿拉伯）和安曼市（约旦），对1116名年龄在40至74岁之间、无糖尿病病史的健康男性和女性进行了ARABRISK问卷调查。ARABRISK是加拿大糖尿病风险评估问卷（CANRISK）的阿拉伯语版本，已针对沙特阿拉伯和约旦讲阿拉伯语的人群进行了改编和验证。
在ARABRISK的所有类别中，安曼地区参与者的ARABRISK总得分均值均高于利雅得地区。然而，低风险和高风险类别中的差异具有统计学意义（分别为P = 0.02和P = 0.01），而中等风险类别中的差异无统计学意义（P = 0.17）。在利雅得人群中，中等风险和高风险类别中女性参与者的ARABRISK总得分均显著高于男性（P = 0.01）。然而，在安曼人群中，低风险和中等风险类别中男性参与者的ARABRISK总得分均显著高于女性（P = 0.01）。
本研究表明，利雅得市和安曼市患T2DM的风险增加。然而，与利雅得人群相比，安曼人群患T2DM的风险更高。
