Aims/IntroductionDiet directly affects glucose metabolism, and eating behavior is influenced by various daily life stressors. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between common psychosomatic stressors on endocrine hormones and eating behavior in patients with type 2 diabetes.Materials and MethodsThis cross‐sectional study was performed in 40 patients with type 2 diabetes. Resting hormone blood sampling and four self‐reported questionnaires were employed.ResultsPatients who scored higher on the ‘anger/hostility’ (AH) subcategory of the profile of mood state (POMS) questionnaire had significantly higher serum cortisol (β = 0.40, P = 0.01 by least squares adjusted for age and sex). In the eating behavior questionnaire, the subcategories of ‘feeling of hunger/satiation’ (β = 0.49, P < 0.01) and ‘eating as diversion’ (β = 0.39, P = 0.03) were associated with higher serum cortisol. Resting morning cortisol levels were higher in participants who rated high on the POMS‐AH and in those who reported ‘irritated when hungry’ and ‘tend to eat when irritated or anxious’. Sleep quality showed no association with eating behavior.ConclusionsMood state is associated with eating behavior. Anger increases cortisol levels and may lead to compulsive eating. Various forms of hostility are important factors in appetite control and increased cortisol secretion, and can be an impediment to successful dietary self‐management in patients with type 2 diabetes. Thus, assessment of mood state and control of negative mood are important therapeutic targets in diabetes management.

“…In short, when university students’ media exposure levels affect their distancing in daily life, a higher propensity toward A indicates a stronger attitude of complying with distancing in daily life. The type A indicates the propensity to judge and objectively view things based on facts and the ability to make decisions based on various types of information [ 50 ]. In short, it can be said that a higher propensity toward A indicates a stronger likelihood of abiding by social norms such as distancing in daily life.…”

Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has necessitated that individuals comply with personal quarantine rules in daily life. South Korea is implementing the concept of “distancing in daily life” to raise awareness on personal quarantine measures, which is communicated through various media channels and platforms. The continued rise in COVID-19 cases demands that all individuals strictly adhere to personal quarantine rules. It is worth paying particular attention to the college student group, which has the highest percentage of confirmed cases among all age groups in South Korea. This group understands and practices “distancing in daily life” but with drastic variations among individuals. Previous studies have reported that the level of adherence to social norms is different according to each ego stated, and media exposure level is reported as a major influencing factor. Therefore, this study examined the media exposure level to COVID-19 prevention rules and its effect on the observance of distancing in daily life; it also verified the moderating effect of ego-gram on the relationship between media exposure level and distancing in daily life. Methods The participants comprised Korean university students (men = 143, women = 188, N = 331) aged 18–30 years, who were recruited through an online survey. The survey was conducted over 20 days from January 27 to February 15, 2021. Data were analyzed using SAS (version 9.4) to calculate hierarchical regression. Results First, media exposure level and distancing in daily life among Korean university students was above average. Second, media exposure level (β = .161, P < .01) was identified as the most influential factor for distancing in daily life. Third, ego-grams had a moderating effect (β = .136, P < .05) on the relationship between media exposure levels and distancing in daily life. Conclusions This study examined the policy implications related to the development of diverse quarantine-related programs while considering influential factors and differences in how individuals’ compliance with quarantine rules were presented. Considering the situation in which new infectious diseases such as COVID-19 occur every 4–5 years, this study serves as a preparation for future pandemics and is an important framework to enhance the level of personal quarantine.
