The study was conducted to assess the risk factors of diabetes mellitus among adults in a selected hospital in Pathanamthitta district with a view to prepare an information booklet. Objectives of the study were to assess the risk factors of diabetes mellitus among adults and find out the association between risk factors of diabetes mellitus with the selected demographic variables . One fifty adults from a selected hospital at Pathanamthitta district were selected as samples using non probability sampling technique. Research design used was cross sectional descriptive study. A standardized tool called Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS ) was used .After the assessment of demographic variables like age, gender, anthropometry, education, occupation, income, personal habits, comorbidities and IDRS parameters an information booklet was given to the high risk and moderate risk group. The findings of the study indicated 39.33% of samples having high risk of developing diabetes mellitus, 55.34% of samples having moderate risk and about 5.33% of samples have low risk of developing diabetes mellitus .The study results showed that there was significant association between risk factors of diabetes mellitus with demographic variables like age (χ2 =12.97), gender (χ2 = 6.42), annual income (χ2=70.85) and dietary habit (χ2=37.41) at p< 0.05 level. The study concluded that majority of samples have moderate risk of developing diabetes because of their age, gender, annual income and changes in dietary habits.
