To explore psychological and somatic distress following trauma, the authors compared 50 combat veterans with chronic posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with 48 age-matched combat veterans without PTSD. Both groups were evaluated on symptom reports, physical examination findings, and laboratory tests. Subjects with PTSD reported significantly more symptoms, but they did not differ from controls on their physical examination and laboratory test findings. Adverse health practices (smoking, alcohol use, and deregulation of food intake) were significantly more frequent in the PTSD group. Low effort tolerance, as has been reported in panic disorder patients, was observed in the PTSD group.
为探究创伤后的心理和躯体痛苦，作者将50名患有慢性创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的退伍军人与48名年龄匹配的无PTSD退伍军人进行了比较。两组均接受了症状报告、体格检查结果和实验室检查评估。患有PTSD的受试者报告的症状明显更多，但在体格检查和实验室检查结果方面与对照组并无差异。PTSD组中不良健康行为（吸烟、饮酒和饮食失调）明显更为常见。在PTSD组中观察到了如惊恐障碍患者中所报告的低努力耐受性。
