Sustainable Type 2 Diabetes Prevention for the 21st Century (DP-Next) - protocol for prediciting Type 2 diabetes

It is well known that type 2 diabetes (T2D) in trial settings can be prevented in high-risk individuals through intensive lifestyle modifications. However, translating these findings into sustainable, real-world practices has proved difficult. In this study, we aim to develop an operational risk model that calculates an individual diabetes risk prediction for the entire population of Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands. We will achieve this by designing a risk prediction algorithm based exclusively on existing register-based data.
