Persons with ptsd, a common anxiety disorder in both veteran and nonveteran populations, have been reported to have an increased risk of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. The analytic sample included 208 092 women veterans (104 046 with and 104 046 without ptsd). ptsd was associated with a greater rate of developing stroke tia (hr, 1.33 [95% ci, 1.25 1.42], p <0.001). this elevated risk was especially pronounced in women <50 years old and in hispanic latina women. Although ptsd was associated with significantly heightened risk of developing ihd at all ages, stratified analyses indicated that younger women veterans with ptsd were at greater risk.
