 It is recognized that psychological stress is related to a deterioration in glycaemic control and that psycho-sociological stress can cause diabetes in humans.
 The purpose of this study are to clarify the mental health and psychological trait in Japanese men with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). After matching for age, some obesity indices and physical fitness levels, Mental Health Pattern (MHP), Type A behavior pattern and trait anxiety scores were compared between both groups. No significant differences were observed between both groups in Type A behavior pattern score and trait anxiety score. NIDDM group were significantly higher than IGT group in sociological stress score, especially, personal avoidance score and fatigue score in MHP. It is suggested that the both groups have a low stress socres in MHP test, but NIDDM group showed relatively higher stress condition than that of IGT group.
