The number of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus has been increasing every year. It was estimated that the number had increased from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. Diabetes mellitus causes various complications on many organs including heart, vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. This study aimed to evaluate behavioral, social, and physical risk factors of type 2 diabetes mellitus, which are considered modifiable. This was a case-control study (1:1) in which 922 case and 997 control Thai subjects aged 35 years and older from 5 regions of Thailand were enrolled. Questionnaires jointly developed by a panel of specialists were used and the data was analyzed as a descriptive study describing the data in frequency and percentage, and as an inferential study using logistic regression and describing as odds ratio. Based on the results of this study, risk factors associated with diabetes mellitus included marriage, low education, having a history of diabetes mellitus among family members, elderly persons, overweight, high systolic blood pressure, low HDL, high triglyceride, and insufficient metabolic equivalent of task (MET). These risk factors could be classified into two main types, i.e. unmodifiable ones such as being elderly persons, and modifiable ones such as insufficient MET and level of education.
