This is an 18-year follow-up of 164 former prisoners of war (POWs) and 190 controls. The study examined long-term morbidity, psychophysiological complaints, and illness-related behaviors. Psychophysiological complaints were found to be significantly higher among the POWs than among the controls. A significant association was also found between such complaints and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The individual's degree of impairment was associated with both objective and subjective characteristics of captivity. The authors outline differences in types of illness observed in POWs in the current study and in studies conducted in other countries, and consider the implication of characteristics of captivity and culture.
这是一项对164名前战俘和190名对照者进行的为期18年的随访研究。该研究调查了长期发病率、心理生理主诉以及与疾病相关的行为。结果发现，战俘中的心理生理主诉显著高于对照者。这些主诉与创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状之间也存在显著关联。个体的损伤程度与囚禁的客观和主观特征均有关联。作者概述了本研究中观察到的战俘疾病类型与其他国家研究中的差异，并考虑了囚禁特征和文化的影响。
