Figure 1. Effects of PTSD Status on Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome.

Figure 1

The percentage of subjects who meet criteria for presence vs. absence of metabolic syndrome are shown. A) Percentage of subjects meeting criteria for Metabolic Syndrome for those without vs. those with current PTSD diagnosis are shown, demonstrating significantly greater metabolic syndrome rates in those with current PTSD (N=245, p<0.05). B) Percentage of subjects meeting criteria for Metabolic Syndrome for those without vs. those with lifetime (but not necessarily current) PTSD diagnosis are shown, demonstrating no difference in metabolic syndrome rates in those with a history of PTSD (N=245, p>0.50).
