Translation and Validation of American Diabetes Association Diabetes Risk Test: The Malay Version.

Background: Early detection of high-risk people for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using a simple, non-invasive and cost-effective assessment tool helps to identify and prevent members of the community from developing this disease. Therefore, this study aims to translate the American Diabetes Association (ADA) diabetes risk test for Malaysians and then evaluate its validity.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between March 2019 and April 2019.
