The purpose of this paper is to review the transcultural adaptations developed for T2D prevention in Latin America (LA). Methods: A comprehensive literature review spanning 1960-2016 was performed, using “Diabetes,” “Latin America,” “Prevention,” “Screening,” and “Tools” as key words. Results: Two major tasks are underway in LA: adaptation of screening tools for high-risk individuals, and implementation of diabetes prevention programs. The Finnish <a title="Learn more about Diabetes" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/diabetes">Diabetes</a> Risk Score (FINDRISC) is the most widely used screening tool to detect new cases of T2D and people with <a title="Learn more about Prediabetes" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/prediabetes">prediabetes</a>, and it has been adapted (LA-FINDRISC) to include the waist circumference cutoff values appropriate for LA population (≥94 cm for men and ≥90 cm for women). The validation of the LA-FINDRISC performance depends on the local characteristics. A LA-FINDRISC score >10 may be the best cutoff to identify individuals with impaired <a title="Learn more about Glucose" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/glucose">glucose</a> regulation in population-based studies, but a higher score (>12-14) might be more appropriate in a clinical setting.
