Dimensions of posttraumatic stress disorder and menopause-related health in midlife women veterans
PTSD-considered categorically and dimensionally-was relevant to menopause-related health in midlife women veterans. Further, symptoms of negative affect and dysphoric arousal were particularly related to urinary and vasomotor symptoms. These specific symptoms may drive associations between PTSD and these aspects of menopause-related health. Clinical interventions targeting these symptoms may promote midlife women's health.
