Half of the people with DM2 worldwide are not diagnosed. The high prevalence, underdiagnosis and complications of diabetes highlight the need for identifying people at risk. Sedentary behaviour (SB) or prolonged sitting is a major predisposing risk factor for the increasing prevalence of DM2. Incorporating SB measures into clinical practice systems for identifying individuals more likely to have DM2 should be considered.</div></div><div><h3>Objective</h3><div>To develop a mathematical model for clinical practice that allows early identification of office employees at risk of DM2 based on objective data on SB.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>A cross-sectional study with a cross-validation procedure was conducted. Anthropometric variables (sex, age and body mass index, BMI), sleep time (hours; measured by ActivPAL3M devices), and SB patterns (sedentary breaks and time spent in sedentary bouts of four different lengths; measured by ActivPAL3M devices) of two groups of office employees (adults with and without diabetes) were compared.

The risk of having DM2 was modelled using generalized linear models (GLM), particularly a logistic regression model.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Five non-invasive clinical variables that were significantly correlated to DM2 with no collinearity were included in the mathematical model: sex, age, BMI, sleep time (hours) and sedentary breaks < 20 minutes (number/day).
