Women suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are at greater
risk for becoming overweight or obese, according to the latest results
from the Nurses Health Study.
.
The study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, show that women of normal weight
who developed PTSD symptoms during the study period had a 36 percent
increased risk for becoming overweight compared with women who experienced
trauma with no PTSD symptoms.
.
"PTSD is not just a mental health issue. Along with cardiovascular disease
and diabetes, we can now add obesity to the list of known health risks of
PTSD," said senior author Karestan Koenen, Ph.D., Mailman School of Public
Health of Columbia University in New York City.
.
Researchers said that this is the first longitudinal study to look at the
relationship between PTSD and obesity.
.
"This study is the first to examine the prospective relation of PTSD
symptoms to BMI [body mass index] trajectories and obesity in women
exposed to a wide range of traumatic events occurring in civilian
settings," they write.
.

.
The researchers suspect that PTSD may affect weight gain through
simultaneous biological and behavioral mechanisms, including unhealthy
lifestyle behaviors, such as physical inactivity and consumption of junk
food, and dysregulated neuroendocrine function.
.
Furthermore, the findings suggest that women with PTSD should be monitored
or undergo screening for poor cardiometabolic outcomes.
.
The researchers suggest that PTSD treatment should be broadened to include
such measures as diet and exercise to help ease the risk for obesity. They
point out that currently, "health behaviors are completely outside the
scope of PTSD treatments."
