Relationship Between Serum Lipid Concentrations and Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms in the Bereaved After the Sewol Ferry Disaster: A Prospective Cohort Study

Previous studies have reported changes in serum lipid concentrations in patients with mental disorders (Boston, Dursun,& Reveley, 1996). Hypercholesterolemia has been reported in patients with schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder (Bajwa, Asnis, Sanderson, Irfan,& van Praag, 1992; Jakovljevic, Reiner,& Milicic, 2007). Low concentrations of cholesterol have been reported in patients with major depressive disorder, dissociative disorder, antisocial personality disorder, and borderline personality disorder (Agargun, et al., 2004; Atmaca, et al., 2002; New, et al., 1999; Olusi& Fido, 1996; Rabe-Jablonska& Poprawska, 2000).
