Abstract

Objectives: To illustrate the utility of the All of Us Research Program for studying military and veteran health.

Materials and methods: Results were derived from the All of Us Researcher Workbench Controlled Tier v7. Specific variables examined were family history of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), medical encounters, and body mass index/body size.

Results: There are 37 363 military and veteran participants enrolled in the All of Us Research Program. The population is older (M = 63.3 years), White (71.3%), and male (83.2%), consistent with military and veteran populations. Participants reported a high prevalence of PTSD (13.4%), obesity (40.2%), and abdominal obesity (77.1%).

Discussion and conclusion: The breadth and depth of health data from service members and veterans enrolled in the All of Us Research Program allow researchers to address pressing health questions in these populations. Future enrollment and data releases will make this an increasingly powerful and useful study for understanding military and veteran health.

关于利用 "我们大家 "研究计划作为研究军人和退伍军人的资源的实用性。

目的说明 "我们所有人 "研究计划在研究军人和退伍军人健康方面的实用性：研究的具体变量包括创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）家族史、医疗遭遇和体重指数/体型：共有 37 363 名军人和退伍军人参加了 "我们所有人 "研究计划。参与者年龄较大（M = 63.3 岁）、白人（71.3%）、男性（83.2%），与军人和退伍军人群体一致。参与者报告了创伤后应激障碍（13.4%）、肥胖（40.2%）和腹部肥胖（77.1%）的高发病率：参加 "我们所有人 "研究计划的军人和退伍军人的健康数据的广度和深度使研究人员能够解决这些人群中迫切的健康问题。未来的注册和数据发布将使这项研究在了解军人和退伍军人健康状况方面变得越来越强大和有用。
