Key result
A simple prediction model for diabetes among Native American elders achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.7812 for men and 0.7230 for women.
Why the study?
Can a simple prediction model accurately identify factors related to diabetes in Native American elders?
Cross-Sectional (n=18,078)
Can a simple prediction model accurately identify factors related to diabetes in Native American elders?
Effect estimate: AUC 0.7812 (men), 0.7230 (women)
A simple prediction model can identify diabetes risk factors in Native American elders with moderate accuracy (AUC 0.72-0.78), potentially aiding healthcare providers in remote or rural areas.

May support targeted screening in Native American elders; leaves open prospective validation before routine adoption.
Upadhyaya et al. (2011) conducted a cross-sectional in Diabetes (n=18,078). Diabetes prediction model was evaluated on Diabetes prediction (AUC) (AUC 0.7812 (men), 0.7230 (women)). A simple prediction model for diabetes among Native American elders achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.7812 for men and 0.7230 for women.
