For present study 2 groups were first chosen, each consisting of 50 NIDDM patients with matched age, sex and social class. One group (i.e. Group A) had patients with poor metabolic control while other group i.e. Group B had patients with adequate metabolic control. Investigators found that female Group A patients had experienced higher mean number of life events in the one month period proceeding the date of study when compared with Group B females. Similar comparison in males showed increased experience of life events during the six month period. Regardless of sex, Group B patients were not found to differ from matched chronic disease patients (i.e. Group C) regarding the mean number of life events experienced during six month period. Male Group B patients, unlike females, experienced higher number of life events during past six months when compared with male matched disease free subjects (i.e. Group D). Adverse events seemed to have predominant role in diabetes control.
本研究首先选择了两组，每组各有 50 名 NIDDM 患者，年龄、性别和社会阶层相匹配。一组（即 A 组）患者的代谢控制较差，而另一组（即 B 组）患者的代谢控制较好。研究人员发现，与 B 组女性相比，A 组女性在研究日期前一个月经历的生活事件平均数量更多。在男性中进行类似的比较时，发现生活事件的经历在六个月期间有所增加。无论性别如何，与匹配的慢性病患者（即 C 组）相比，B 组患者在六个月期间经历的生活事件平均数量没有差异。与女性不同，与男性匹配的无疾病受试者（即 D 组）相比，B 组男性在过去六个月中经历了更多的生活事件。不良事件似乎在糖尿病控制中起主要作用。
