Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Accelerated Aging in Women

Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE This purpose of this research is to better understand whether posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) causes accelerated aging in women and to identify underlying disease mechanisms. If PTSD truly contributes to accelerated aging, then new avenues for ameliorating the adverse effects of PTSD must be considered and the effectiveness of various prevention or intervention strategies compared. For example, effective treatment of PTSD may reduce risk of adverse effects across multiple health domains. Even if PTSD is resistant to treatment, persons with PTSD may yet benefit from greater surveillance and efforts to improve long-term health.
