Traumatic event exposure and physical health were examined in a community-residing sample of 1,500 New Zealand adults. Half (51%) reported past traumatic event exposure, 9% reported recent (past 12 months) trauma exposure, and 40% reported no exposure. After adjusting for gender, ethnic, and age differences, those experiencing crime and accident trauma exhibited significantly deteriorated physical health, as measured by current physical symptoms, chronic medical conditions, and chronic limitations in daily functioning. Further research is required to assess the influence of traumatic events on the physical health among adults from other countries, and to evaluate the factors that may mediate or moderate this relationship for different subgroups of the New Zealand population. Limitations of this study are outlined.
在一个由1500名新西兰成年人组成的社区样本中，对创伤事件暴露情况和身体健康状况进行了调查。一半（51%）的人报告曾有过创伤事件暴露经历，9%的人报告近期（过去12个月内）有创伤暴露经历，40%的人报告无暴露经历。在对性别、种族和年龄差异进行调整后，经历犯罪和事故创伤的人，根据当前身体症状、慢性疾病状况以及日常功能的慢性限制来衡量，其身体健康状况显著恶化。需要进一步研究来评估创伤事件对其他国家成年人身体健康的影响，并评估可能调节或缓和新西兰不同亚人群体这种关系的因素。本研究的局限性也进行了概述。
