Buta E, et al. - This study was designed to investigate the relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnosis, gender, and post-deployment weight trajectories among U.S. Operations Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom, and New Dawn veterans. Researchers observed that in both men and women, PTSD was associated with accelerated weight gain. This association was observed to be slightly stronger among women. Thereby suggesting the criticality of the post-deployment period for weight gain, particularly for veterans diagnosed with PTSD and women veterans with PTSD.
