External validation and application of the Diabetes Population Risk Tool (DPoRT) for prediction of type 2 diabetes onset in the US population.

DPoRT has transportability for predicting population-level diabetes risk in the USA using routinely collected survey data. We demonstrate the model's applicability for population health assessment and diabetes prevention planning. Our modeling predicted that the combination of community-wide and targeted prevention approaches for those at highest risk are needed to reduce diabetes burden in the USA.
