@entity1 @entity1066 @entity148 @entity10189
This study investigated childhood physical abuse and @entity1066 in a regionally representative community sample. Age, race and sex were controlled for in addition to five clusters of potentially confounding factors: adverse childhood conditions, adult socioeconomic status, current health behaviors, current stress and marital status, and history of mood/ @entity148 . Childhood physical abuse is associated with many negative physical and psychological adult health outcomes. Two recent studies demonstrate a potential link between childhood physical abuse and @entity10189 in adulthood. The authors use regional data for the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan from the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey. Of the 13,069 respondents with complete data on abuse and @entity1066 , 7.3% (n = 1,020) report that they had been physically abused as a @entity1 by someone close to them and 3.0% (n = 493) report that they had been diagnosed with peptic @entity1066 by a health professional. The regional response rate is approximately 84%. Findings show that those reporting abuse had more than twice the prevalence of @entity1066 than did those not reporting abuse (6.6% vs. 2.7%). The fully adjusted odd ratio of peptic @entity1066 among those who had reported childhood physical abuse is 1.68 (95% CI = 1.22, 2.32). A significant and stable relationship between childhood physical abuse and peptic @entity1066 is found, even when taking into account five clusters of potentially confounding factors. Prospective studies that apply the biopsychosocial model are likely to be the most effective for identifying the pathways that connect childhood physical abuse and @entity1066 .
