Abstract

Gerald C Hsu

Inspired by a recent presentation at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in 2023, exploring the correlation between stress, fear, or psychological disorders, and four diseases, i.e. type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular diseases (CVD), chronic kidney diseases (CKD), and diabetic neuropathy (DN). This study focused on 2,067,017 T2D patients in South Korea over 6.2 years. An additional four-year study from the REACH International Registry revealed significant risks for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, indicating a 2.45 times higher risk of cardiovascular death for those with heart failure compared to those without. Patients with T2DM and early CKD experienced a reduced life expectancy by 16 years, a stark 10-year difference compared to patients with CKD alone. Further studies demonstrated a 15% increase in the risk of death for heart failure patients with every 0.5 mg/dL rise in creatinine.

The author of this paper drew from personal data collected over the past 11 years (from 1/1/2013 to 11/17/2023), examining stress and fear scores in the context of the mentioned four diseases. His stress scores encompass about 100 elements for both "psychologically normal" individuals and psychological disorders (PD) patients, including borderline personality disorder (BPD). Notably, the author lacks psychological disorders, ensuring that his collected data reflects a normal person's response to stress or fear from health situations, business issues, people relationships, or life incidents. Over the past 11 years, his primary stress sources originated from emotional reactions to his enduring diabetic complications, including CVD, CKD, DN (foot ulcers), and retinopathy. Beyond traditional statistical correlations, this article also employs the space-domain viscoplastic energy (SD-VMT) method from advanced engineering to unveil hidden relationships and dynamics (i.e., energies) among these four diseases and the author's collected stress scores.
