Abbreviations: PCL-C, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian form; β, standardized regression coefficient; SE, standard error; mod act/week, moderate activity per week.
Adjusted for DEMO (demographic) variables age, race, gender, marital status, and education.
Adjusted for DEMO variables and CLIN (clinical characteristics) variables current treatment status, reoccurrence in last 5 years, comorbidities. Healthy lifestyle-related factors compared to the reference group (i.e., smoker; physical activity: < 150 minutes of moderate activity/week; BMI: ≥ 25kg/m2; fruit and vegetables/day: < 5 fruits and vegetables/day).
