Test-Retest Reliability and External Validity of Canadian Diabetes Risk Questionnaire - Turkish

Objectives: The aim of the study was to examine the test-retest reliability and external validity of the Canadian Diabetes Risk Questionnaire (CanRisk). Materials and Methods: Individuals over 40 years of age without any disease were included in the study. Participants were administered the CanRisk, Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). CanRisk test-retest validity was calculated with the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and external validity was calculated with the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: The study included 1349 participants, 549 men and 755 women (mean age 50.03 ± 8.05 years). CanRisk test-retest validity was found to be excellent (0.99). Its external validity was evaluated by examining its correlation with NHP, and it was found that there was a statistically significant, positive weak correlation (p<0.05, r= 0.23). Conclusion: CanRisk -TR was found to be a reliable and valid questionnaire to predict diabetes risk.
