Abstract
Posttraumatic stress has been associated with greater prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the mechanisms that might confer CVD risk during early adulthood are understudied. In the present study, posttraumatic stress severity was associated with lower high-density lipoprotein levels and higher triglycerides among young women.
