Long-term disability associated with war-related experience among Vietnam veterans: retrospective cohort study

This retrospective cohort study examines the long-term health consequences of war-related experiences among Vietnam veterans. Imagine the aftermath of war as a desolate desert, where veterans often face a multitude of physical and mental health challenges. The authors followed a large group of Australian Vietnam veterans for decades, discovering a significant increase in disability rates among this population. The study found that many veterans experienced long-term disabilities, including mental health conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, and eye and ear problems. This research highlights the critical need for ongoing support and care for veterans who have served in war.
