The association between body mass index and recovery from post-traumatic stress disorder after the nuclear accident in Fukushima
Abstract Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obesity share common risk factors; however, the effect of obesity on recovery from PTSD has not been assessed. We examined the association between body mass index (BMI) and recovery from PTSD after the Great East Japan Earthquake. We analyzed 4356 m...
