Although the connection between body and soul is written in the Bible, research papers haven't given much attention to it until the past few decades. Recently, both here and abroad, there have been more studies that investigate the prevalence of various somatic disorders in psychiatric patients, including metabolic syndrome.
The objective of this study was to establish the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and it's components in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Metabolic syndrome and its components were investigated in 60 patients with chronic PTSD conditioned by the war and in 60 patients treated for somatic problems by their family physician in Mostar.
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was statistically significantly higher in patients with PTSD (48.3%) than in the control group (25%) (P=0.008) and the number of its individual components (test group 2.38±1.30 compared to control group 1.72±1.24) (P=0.005). PTSD patients diagnosed with metabolic syndrome had significantly more frequent hyperglycemia (P=0.010) and abdominal obesity (P=0.044) compared to the control group.
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome increased in patients with PTSD compared to the control group.
尽管身心联系在《圣经》中有所记载，但直到过去几十年，研究论文才开始关注这一问题。最近，国内外都有更多研究调查了精神科患者中各种躯体障碍的流行情况，包括代谢综合征。
本研究旨在确定创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）患者中代谢综合征及其各组分的患病率。
在莫斯塔尔，对 60 名患有慢性 PTSD 的战争伤员和 60 名由家庭医生治疗躯体问题的患者进行了代谢综合征及其各组分的调查。
PTSD 患者代谢综合征的患病率明显高于对照组（48.3%比 25%）（P=0.008），且其各组分的数量也更高（试验组为 2.38±1.30，对照组为 1.72±1.24）（P=0.005）。与对照组相比，诊断为代谢综合征的 PTSD 患者血糖升高（P=0.010）和腹型肥胖（P=0.044）的频率更高。
与对照组相比，PTSD 患者的代谢综合征患病率增加。
