Study Summary
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is prevalent among military Veterans and is more than just a psychological condition; PTSD has profound negative impacts on health, function, and quality of life. Older Veterans are the largest patient population served by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), and many have lived with PTSD for 40+ years. Veterans with PTSD engage in low levels of physical activity and spend much of their time in sedentary activities, adding to their risk of physical disability. The benefits of exercise on mental health and physical well-being in older adults are well-substantiated, but the effects of exercise training on late-life PTSD symptoms is a new area of study. This study is designed to examine the effects of 6 months of supervised exercise training on PTSD symptoms and PTSD-related conditions (e.g., functional impairment, sleep) in 188 older Veterans with PTSD.
Primary Outcome
PTSD symptoms over the previous month will be assessed with the CAPS-5 clinical interview. Total symptom severity score and symptom cluster severity scores will be calculated. Scores range from 0 to 80, with higher scores reflecting more severe PTSD symptoms.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Exercise Training
- OTHER Healthy Aging Attention Control (HA-ATC)
