Total AUSDRISK score is the sum of points from each item. Higher scores indicate higher 5-year risk of type 2 diabetes.

Item	Response options	Points
Age group (years)	Under 35. 35–44. 45–54. 55–64. ≥65	0. 2. 4. 6. 8
Sex	Female. Male	0. 3
Ethnicity / country-of-birth background	Other background (none of the listed high-risk groups). Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. Pacific Islander or Maori. Asian background (including Indian sub-continent). Southern European, Middle Eastern or North African background	0. 2. 2. 2. 2
Family history of diabetes	No. Yes (parent, brother or sister)	0. 3

Waist measurement band (cm)	For men and women, use the band that matches sex and ethnic background from the original AUSDRISK table: for Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander or Asian background – men <90, 90–100, >100. Women <80, 80–90, >90. For all other backgrounds – men <102, 102–110, >110. Women <88, 88–100, >100	0. 4. 7 for each three-level band

The clinical interpretation of the summed score uses these ranges from the original AUSDRISK brochure:

Score band	Approximate 5-year risk	Category
0–5	About 1 in 100 will develop diabetes	Low risk
6–11	About 1 in 50 (scores 6–8) to 1 in 30 (scores 9–11)	Intermediate risk
≥12	About 1 in 14 (scores 12–15) up to about 1 in 3 (scores ≥20)	High risk
