Disentangling sex differences in the shared genetic architecture of posttraumatic stress disorder, traumatic experiences, and social support with body size and composition.

Considering the top r g results for traumatic experiences, the female-specific analysis identified highly significant genetic overlap between childhood traumatic experiences (i.e., UKB-EUR Field ID: 20488 – “physically abused by a family member as a child”) and BMI (UKB-EUR Field ID: 21001; rg = 0.245, p = 3.88 × 10 −10 ) while war-related trauma (i.e., UKB-EUR Field ID: 20527 – “been involved in combat or exposed to warzone”) was genetically correlated with peripheral fat distribution (UKB-EUR Field ID: 23111 - leg fat percentage; r g = 0.405, p = 4.42 × 10 −10 ) in males.
