Objective: To estimate the prevalence and investigate factors associated with suspected diabetes in adults in the municipality of Mucugê, Bahia. Method: This was a cross-sectional, sample study of 337 adults registered with the Family Health Strategy in the municipality of Mucugê, Bahia. Data was collected on sociodemographic aspects, lifestyle habits and health conditions. Anthropometric measurements and capillary glycemia were measured. Subjects with casual glycemia ≥180 mg/dl were considered to have suspected diabetes. The Prevalence Ratio was used as a measure of association and the 95% confidence interval as a measure of statistical inference. Results: The prevalence of suspected diabetes was 8% and the associated factors were: female gender, age ≥40 years, having children, less than high school education, obesity, high waist circumference, smoking, alcohol consumption and sedentary lifestyle. Conclusion: The prevalence of suspected diabetes was similar to the national prevalence and was associated with some modifiable factors.
