title: [Behavioral risk factors in patients with diabetes mellitus type II].
abstract: Sixty patients with diabetes mellitus of the second type and thirty healthy persons were investigated. Structural interviews by Friedman, Rosenmann and Spilberger methods were conducted in all subjects. According to the results, out of four groups "0" group was related to the healthy subjects, who showed behavior of type "b". For the rest 1, 2, 3 groups, they reflected the pathological state of the "a" type behavior of various degrees. This type was documented in 90% of patients with diabetes mellitus. Severe "a" type behavior was mostly seen in males rather than in females that indicate to the males' deficiency in the development of the emotional sphere. These specific health aggravations are directly connected with the duration of the disease, its stage and emotional-expressive receptivity of the "a" type.
