Childhood Maltreatment Is Associated with XXXX but Not @entity30 : Findings from a Population-based Study.

@entity31 @entity30 @entity458 @entity29
BACKGROUND: Previous research suggests a link between childhood adversities and @entity29 ( @entity29 ); however, study limitations prevent generalization of findings. To address this, the current study uses a Canadian population-based sample to investigate the relationship between 3 childhood adversities and 2 types of @entity29 while controlling for a range of factors. METHODS: Secondary data analysis of a subsample of the nationally representative 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey-Mental Health consisted of those with no missing data on any of the variables of interest (n = 21,852). The survey response rate was 68.9%. This study used logistic regression to estimate odds ratios of 3 types of childhood adversities (physical abuse, @entity458 , and witnessing parental domestic violence) separately for @entity31 and @entity30 , each compared with those without @entity29 . The final model controls for sociodemographics, health behaviors, and mental health. The exposure was assessed by retrospective self-report, and the outcome was by self-report of a health professional diagnosis. RESULTS: In a fully adjusted model, those who are physically (odds ratio = 2.28; confidence interval, 1.39-3.75) or sexually abused (odds ratio = 2.64; confidence interval, 1.61-4.33) during childhood had significantly higher odds of @entity31 than their non-maltreated peers. No relationship is found between witnessing parental domestic violence and @entity31 . None of the early adversities are significantly related to @entity30 . CONCLUSIONS: Childhood physical and @entity458 are related to @entity31 , but not @entity30 . Future research that can address epigenetic and neuroendocrine factors should investigate pathways through which early adversities may translate into one type of @entity29 but not another.
