    • 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.
