Are stress disorders (PTSD and adjustment disorder) associated with cardiovascular disease events in the Danish population?
Stress disorders, including both PTSD and adjustment disorder, are associated with cardiovascular disease events across both genders.
By expanding beyond PTSD and examining a second stress disorder-adjustment disorder-this study provides evidence that stress-related psychopathology is associated with CVD events. Further, limited evidence of gender differences in associations for either of the stress disorders and CVD was found.
Gradus et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
