Objectives: Even 60 years after World War II, the German elderly population is significantly more often affected by posttraumatic symptomatology compared to the younger cohorts.
This study is addressing prevalence rates of posttraumatic symptomatology and its comorbidity with depression and somatisation. Results: One-month prevalence rate was 4. A significant increase across the age groups was found for partial PTSD. A current posttraumatic symptomatology is associated with increased prevalence rates of somatoform and depressive disorders. Moreover, traumatic experiences without a current PTSD are associated with increased rates of somatoform disorders.
Conclusion: Posttraumatic symptomatology is a common phenomenon in the German elderly population. Especially, subsyndromal disorders are very common and increasing across the age groups.
