How this is worked out, and its limits
The IDRS (Mohan et al., 2005, Madras Diabetes Research Foundation) scores four factors to 0–100: age 0/20/30, waist 0/10/20, activity 0/10/20/30, family history 0/10/20. 60 or more is high risk, 30 to 50 moderate, under 30 low. In Indian community studies its sensitivity is about 72% and specificity about 60%.
It is a screening score, not a test: it tells you how urgently a blood test is worth doing. It does not apply if you already have diabetes or are pregnant.
