Abstract
- The article presents a study which examines the association between obesity, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and combat exposure in male veterans. Procedures of the study which involved male twins who were born between 1939 and 1957 and served in the U.S. military between 1964 and 1975 are offered. Results of the study which indicate the link between combat exposure and stress with and increased likelihood of obesity and weight gains are discussed.
