  • Association Between a National Behavioral Weight Management Program and Veterans Affairs Health Expenditures

    Valerie A Smith, Karen M Stechuchak et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2024Referencias: 16

    OBJECTIVE: The association between participation in a behavioral weight intervention and health expenditures has not been well characterized. We compared Veterans Affairs (VA) expenditures of individuals participating in MOVE!, a VA behavioral weight loss program, and matched comparators 2 years before and 2 years after MOVE! initiation. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of Veterans who had one or more MOVE! visits in 2008-2017 who were matched…

  • Ambulatory Heart Rate Variability Monitoring

    Elizabeth E Van Voorhees, Paul A Dennis et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2022

    OBJECTIVE: Heart rate variability (HRV) is a useful index of psychological and physiological stress. While several wristband devices have purported to measure HRV, none have demonstrated reliability when compared to the gold standard Holter monitor. We evaluated the reliability of HRV readings from the Empatica E4 wristband compared to a Holter monitor over a 24-hour period of simultaneous monitoring. METHODS: Agreement between the monitors was a…

  • Trauma and Autonomic Dysregulation

    Paul A Dennis, Nathan A Kimbrel et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2017

    OBJECTIVE: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been linked to elevated heart rate (HR) and reduced heart rate variability (HRV) in cross-sectional research. Recent evidence suggests that this link may be driven by individual differences in autonomic arousal associated with momentary negative affect (NA). Using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) of NA and minute-to-minute HR/HRV monitoring, we examined whether NA-related HR/HRV mediated th…

  • Examining the Crux of Autonomic Dysfunction in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

    Paul A Dennis, Eric A Dedert et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2016

    OBJECTIVE: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been linked to elevated heart rate (HR) and reduced heart rate variability (HRV) in cross-sectional research. Using ecological momentary assessment and minute-to-minute HRV/HR monitoring, we examined whether cross-sectional associations between PTSD symptom severity and HRV/HR were due to overall elevations in distress levels or to attenuated autonomic regulation during episodes of acute distres…

  • Posttraumatic Stress, Heart Rate Variability, and the Mediating Role of Behavioral Health Risks

    Paul A Dennis, Lana L Watkins et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2014

    OBJECTIVE: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been linked to reduced heart rate variability (HRV), which is in turn a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and death. Although hyperarousal and anxiety are thought to underlie this association, behavioral health risks, including smoking, alcohol dependence, obesity, and sleep disturbance, represent potential mechanisms linking PTSD and HRV. METHODS: To test this hypothesis, short-term labora…

  • Orthostatic hypotension in young adults with and without posttraumatic stress disorder

    Ania E Oddone, Paul A Dennis et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2014

    The purpose of this research is (a) to evaluate differences in orthostatic hypotension (OH) among young adults with and without posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and (b) to examine whether group differences may be attributable to behavioral risk factors frequently associated with PTSD. Volunteers and U.S. veterans 18 to 39 years old (N = 222) completed a semistructured interview assessment of PTSD status. Direct measurements were obtained for …

  • Personality Assessment Inventory internalizing and externalizing structure in veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder

    Open AccessElizabeth E Van Voorhees, Paul A Dennis et al.ARTICLEAggressive Behavior2014Referencias: 73

    Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with aggressive behavior in veterans, and difficulty controlling aggressive urges has been identified as a primary postdeployment readjustment concern. Yet only a fraction of veterans with PTSD commit violent acts. The goals of this study were to (1) examine the higher-order factor structure of Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) scales in a sample of U.S. military veterans seeking treatment f…
