AB  - BACKGROUND: This cross-sectional study has been developed within the framework of 
      the Italian project 'We love your heart' ('Ci sta a cuore il tuo cuore') and 
      reports the results of the initial type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk 
      assessment carried out in a big network of community pharmacies in Italy and 
      Spain. METHODS: In total 4002 pharmacists from 854pharmacies were specifically 
      trained to collect data and perform the evaluation of the probability of 
      developing T2DM among pharmacy customers. The risk of developing T2DM within 10 
      years was evaluated using the FINDRISC. RESULTS: Overall, 7234 (22.1%) subjects 
      were at low risk to develop the disease, whereas 43.3% were at slightly elevated 
      risk (scores 7-11), 19.3% were at moderate (scores 12-14), 13.9% were at high 
      (scores 15-20), and 1.4% were at very high risk (scores > 20). Spanish 
      participants showed higher levels of risk than Italian (16.7 vs. 14.7%) taking 
      the cut-off FINDRISC >/= 15. CONCLUSION: This study shows that considerable 
      percentage of persons is likely to develop diabetes in the next 10 years. 
      Analyses of the risk factors indicate that men were more susceptible to develop 
      this disease, as well as the Spanish participants respect to Italian.
