Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a randomized sample of the adult population in Malta between 2014 and 2016. Various measurements (medical, drug history, blood pressure and waist circumference) taken were analysed using general linear models to establish independent associations with diabetes mellitus. The significant variables were then further analysed through receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) to establish the model fitting best with the presence of diabetes among adults in Malta.
