AB  - Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is multifactorial disease. This cross-sectional 
      study was aimed to investigate relationship between stress and risk for T2DM in 
      college students. Seven-hundred participants (350 T2DM risk and 350 non-T2DM risk 
      groups). Stress index levels and heart rate variability (HRV) were respectively 
      measured as primary and secondary outcomes. Results showed that both T2DM-risk 
      and non-T2DM-risk groups had temporary stress, but the T2DM-risk group had 
      significantly higher level of psychological stress (P < .001). For the HRV, the 
      T2DM-risk group had significantly lower levels of parasympathetic proxies (lnHF, 
      SDNN, and RMSSD) (P < .001). Chi-square (chi2) test showed significant correlation 
      of the stressful state with T2DM risk (chi2 = 159.372, P < .001, odds ratio (OR) = 
      9.326). In conclusion, psychological stress is a risk factor for T2DM in college 
      students. Early detection, monitoring, and treatments of psychological stress 
      should be implemented in this group of population.
