OBJECTIVE
Obesity is a significant public health problem in the United States, particularly among military veterans with multiple risk factors. Heretofore, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has not clearly been identified as a risk factor for this condition.
METHOD
We accessed both a national and local database of PTSD veterans.
RESULTS
Body mass index (BMI) was greater (P < 0.0001) among male military veterans (n = 1819) with PTSD (29.28 +/- 6.09 kg/m(2)) than those veterans (n = 44 959) without PTSD (27.61 +/- 5.99 kg/m(2)) in a sample of randomly selected veterans from the national database. In the local database of male military veterans with PTSD, mean BMI was in the obese range (30.00 +/- 5.65) and did not vary by decade of life (P = 0.242).
CONCLUSION
Posttraumatic stress disorder may be a risk factor for overweight and obesity among male military veterans.
目的
肥胖在美国是一个重大的公共卫生问题，在具有多种风险因素的退伍军人中尤为突出。在此之前，创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）尚未被明确认定为导致这种情况的风险因素。
方法
我们访问了一个全国性和一个地方性的创伤后应激障碍退伍军人数据库。
结果
在从全国数据库中随机抽取的退伍军人样本中，患有创伤后应激障碍的男性退伍军人（n = 1819，体重指数[BMI]为29.28±6.09kg/m²）的BMI高于未患创伤后应激障碍的退伍军人（n = 44959，BMI为27.61±5.99kg/m²）（P < 0.0001）。在地方性的患有创伤后应激障碍的男性退伍军人数据库中，平均BMI处于肥胖范围（30.00±5.65），且不因年龄段而有所不同（P = 0.242）。
结论
创伤后应激障碍可能是男性退伍军人超重和肥胖的一个风险因素。
