Columbia University. US: Women with post-traumatic stress disorder are nearly twice as likely to develop
type 2 diabetes compared with women who don’t have PTSD, according to
researchers at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia
University and Harvard School of Public Health. The longitudinal cohort study provides the strongest evidence to date
of a causal relationship between PTSD and type 2 diabetes. Results are
published online in the journal JAMA Psychiatry.
