The effect of trauma and PTSD on telomere length: An exploratory study in people exposed to combat trauma

23 Jun 2017

Abstract excerpt

Telomere length has been suggested to be a cellular marker for age-related diseases as well as psychosocial stress. The present study investigated whether telomere length is associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among veterans exposed to combat trauma in the Vietnam War. The potentially associated factors on cellular aging were considered. Korean male veterans with (n = 122) and without (n = 120)...
