Development and Validation of a Novel Model for Predicting the 5-Year Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Patients with Hypertension: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Figure 2

Nomogram to predict the 5-year risk of T2D in Chinese patients with hypertension. Instructions: to estimate an individual’s 5-year risk of T2D in a patient with hypertension and determine the value on each variable axis. Draw a vertical line from the value to the top points scale to determine how many points are assigned to the variable value.. Then, the points from each variable value are summed. Locate the sum on the total points scale and project it vertically on the bottom axis to obtain a personalized 5-year T2D risk.
