Objective: To identify the evidence available in the literature on the factors of risk for type II diabetes mellitus. Method: There was an integrative review of the literature in the following databases: PubMed, LILACS, SciELO and Scopus, using the descriptors type II diabetes mellitus and factors of risk in Portuguese and English.
