This is a screening study designed to catch early warning signs of type 2 diabetes and heart disease in people before they develop serious problems. Researchers in Italy will invite people turning 50 to come for simple, non-invasive tests that measure blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol levels—and check blood sugar if needed. The goal is to identify who is at high risk so they can start prevention steps early.
Type 2 diabetes and heart disease are serious conditions that develop silently over time. By catching them early through screening, doctors can help people make lifestyle changes or start treatment before damage occurs, preventing heart attacks, strokes, and the complications of diabetes.

You will receive an invitation letter at home with details about the screening program and time to decide if you want to participate. If you choose to join, you will book an appointment and come to a local health clinic where a nurse or doctor will take simple measurements: your height, weight, and blood pressure. They will also do a quick finger-prick blood test to check your cholesterol and, if needed based on your risk score, your blood sugar levels. The entire visit should take about an hour.
