HealthDay (2/6, Reinberg) reports that a new study has found that “survivors of the 2001 terrorist attack on New York City’s World Trade Center who developed PTSD have a lasting risk of premature death.” The study involved “nearly 64,000 emergency responders and civilians” and “found that the longer the post-traumatic stress disorder lingered, the more likely they were to die early from any cause.” The study results “were published online Feb. 5 in JAMA Network Open.”
