摘要

Effects of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on physical health have been well documented (e.g., Rauch et al., 2009); however, much of the past research has not taken into account the complexities of the relationship. In particular, PTSD is often comorbid with other mental disorders which have also been found to influence physical health (e.g., depression; Sareen et al., 2007), calling into question the influence of PTSD beyond such disorders. Also, given that physical health encompasses a wide array of potentially deleterious conditions and experiences, specificity of what constitutes physical health is necessary to properly assess the relationship with PTSD. Accordingly, physical health was separated in the current study into seven specific categories of physical health disorders (circulatory, endocrine, musculoskeletal, neurological, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and other physical health disorders). The aims of the current study were two-fold, first, assess the relationships between PTSD and seven specific physical health disorders within the context of potentially mediating conditions (pain) and disorders (depression and alcohol-use); and second, investigate the likelihood of physical disorder prevalence among three different modalities of PTSD diagnosis (i.e., full PTSD, subsyndromal PTSD, and no PTSD). These aims were examined in a sample of Canadian military peacekeepers with a history of deployment to foreign military operations ( n = 990, 97% men). Results suggest that PTSD has a significant direct positive influence on three (i.e., gastrointestinal, neurological, and other physical health disorders) of the seven models investigated. Also, PTSD was observed to have a significant direct negative influence on endocrine disorders. Models revealed pain significantly and positively mediated the relationship between PTSD and musculoskeletal and neurological disorders.;Additionally, alcohol-use significantly and negatively mediated the influence of PTSD on neurological disorders. PTSD was not observed to have direct or indirect influences on circulatory and respiratory disorders. Multiple stepwise logistic regressions indicated adjusted odds ratios for physical disorder presence were significantly greater among those affected by full PTSD when compared to those without PTSD, except among endocrine disorders. Among four of seven disorder categories (i.e., musculoskeletal, neurological, respiratory, and other physical health disorders), adjusted odds ratios for physical disorder presence were significantly greater among those affected by subsyndromal PTSD compared to those without PTSD. No significant differences in the likelihood of physical disorders were observed between those affected by full and subsyndromal PTSD. In concert, a heterogeneous relationship between PTSD and specific categories of physical health was observed in the current study. Extraneous variables serve to mediate certain relationships and remain nonsignificant in others, which disrupted the clarity of the relationship between PTSD and general physical health. Findings underscore that PTSD affects physical health, but through different avenues depending on the physical disorder examined.
