Objective: determine the factors associated with nonpharmacologic of adults with diabetes mellitus type 2 in the American population. Method: we conducted a systematic review in different databases with key words about the factors associated with diabetes mellitus type 2 under different inclusion and exclusion criteria, which were subsequently revised to a total of 21 studies analyzed and categorized , allowing for discussion only those variables that establish statistically significant associations. Was taken as the reference variable glycemic control glycosylated hemoglobin A. Results: factors associated with glycemic control were age, sex, race, glycosylated hemoglobin basis, language, duration of illness, diet (intake of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins as well as smoking and drinking habits), lipids, weight , body mass index, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, exercise (aerobic, resistance or combined, oxygen consumption in ml / kg / min, ventilatory threshold versus glycosylated hemoglobin), education (number and type or group staff), knowledge of the disease, visit the nutritionist, self care, social security, employment, depressive moods, socioeconomic and educational level and family functioning, which were statistically significant (p< 0.05), but which were mostly associated in several of the articles were glycosylated hemoglobin basic education programs for diabetic patients and age. Discussion: above variables statistically established risk factors allow classified as modifiable and non modifiable, which is essential to raise and define strategies to achieve maximum control of the disease and to mitigate the deleterious effects of the processes aging cell phone, thus avoiding complications and neuromuscular microangiopathic typical of this endocrinopathy.
