Perceived mental stress in men and type A behavior in women are associated with an increased risk of incident diabetes, while coffee consumption shows a protective effect.
Kato et al. (2009) conducted a cohort in Diabetes Mellitus (n=55,826). High perceived mental stress vs. Low perceived mental stress was evaluated on 10-year incidence of diabetes mellitus in men (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.13-1.63, p=0.001). High perceived mental stress increased the 10-year risk of incident diabetes by 36% compared to low stress among middle-aged Japanese men (OR 1.36).
