Study links PTSD to aging in Ground Zero workers
A study by researchers affiliated with Stony Brook found that PTSD in Ground Zero responders is linked to measurable physical effects, including accelerated aging of the pancreas, lungs, and metabolism. Elevated levels of certain proteins associated with inflammation and neural dysfunction suggest PTSD has a direct biological impact, potentially increasing the risk of metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes. Advocates hope this evidence will lead to changes in compensation laws to include physical health consequences for 9/11 first responders.
