“…A growing literature shows that poly-victimization (exposure to more than one type of victimization) further increases the risk of several psychiatric disorders and symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, suicide ideation, and self-harm (34,(43)(44)(45)(46)(47). It has also been shown that increasing numbers of childhood adversities are associated with more complex adult psychopathology, including more DSM-IV diagnoses and the coexistence of internalizing and externalizing disorders (48).…”

“…One aspect poly-victimization has gained broad support in research and has been shown to be significant in several different populations. Poly-victimization occurs when the individual is exposed to several different types of victimization and has been repeatedly confirmed as an important factor (34,43,46,49,83,152). Different types and numbers of types of victimization have been studied, and the main results are robust and reproduced.…”

“…Mean scores, confidence intervals and p-values are presented in table 4 (Appendix 1) populations were hospital samples, matched for chronic health conditions. A growing amount of research in recent decades has shown that childhood maltreatment is a major risk factor for a broad specter of physical health problems later in life, such as ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, liver disease, obesity, and autoimmune disease [4,40,46,47]. These are major causes of death in adults, and are expensive both for the individual and for society.…”

Printed by NTNU Grafisk senter 1 NORSK SAMMENDRAG Ungdom i risiko: Overgrepserfaringer, psykopatologi og livskvalitet blant ungdom i barnevernsinstitusjonerOvergrep og omsorgssvikt i barndommen er assosiert med en rekke fysiske og psykiske helseplager senere i livet. Å kunne identifisere risikoutsatte befolkningsgrupper er svaert verdifullt med tanke på å kunne forebygge helseplager. Barn og unge i fosterhjem og på barnevernsinstitusjoner har opplevd mer overgrep og omsorgssvikt enn barn og unge i normalbefolkningen, og kan derfor vaere i en høy-risikogruppe for helseproblemer.Hovedmålet med denne studien var å studere om overgrepserfaringer var assosiert med psykiske lidelser og redusert livskvalitet også i en høy-risikogruppe av ungdom bosatt i barnevernsinstitusjoner. Et sekundaert mål var å forsøke å identifisere medierende faktorer som kunne øke kunnskapen om disse assosiasjonene ytterligere.Prosjektet er en del av studien «Psykisk helse hos barn og unge i barnevernsinstitusjoner» som ble gjennomført mellom 2010 og 2015. 400 ungdommer mellom 12 og 20 år bosatt i barnevernsinstitusjoner i Norge ble inkludert, og av disse gjennomførte 335 et semi-strukturert diagnostisk intervju som i tillegg til informasjon om psykiske lidelser også ga informasjon om overgrepserfaringer.En stor andel av ungdommene (71 %) oppga å ha overgrepserfaringer (å ha vaert vitne til vold, å ha vaert utsatt for fysiske eller seksuelle overgrep). I denne gruppa var det høyere forekomst av en rekke psykiske sykdommer sammenlignet med de andre ungdommene i barnevernsinstitusjonene. Det var statistisk signifikant forskjell i forekomst av alvorlig depresjon, dystymi, generalisert angstlidelse, alvorlig atferdsforstyrrelse og autismespekterforstyrrelse mellom de to ungdomsgruppene. I tillegg var det signifikant økt forekomst av tidligere selvmordsforsøk blant ungdommene med overgrepserfaringer. Denne gruppen ungdommer hadde også dårligere livskvalitet enn ungdom i normalbefolkningen i forhold til fysisk og emosjonelt velvaere, selvtillit og i forholdet til venner. Økende antall ulike typer overgrepserfaringer inkludert dysfunksjonelle familieforhold, var assosiert med økt odds for flere av de psykiatriske diagnosene, og for dårligere livskvalitet på alle undersøkte livsområder. Tre potensielle medierende faktorer ble undersøkt: globalt selvbilde, tilknytningsproblemer og bruk av tobakk/rusmidler. Av disse ble det funnet at kun globalt selvbilde hadde medierende effekt både på assosiasjonen mellom overgrepserfaringer og psykopatologi, og overgrepserfaringer og livskvalitet.Unge i barnevernsinstitusjoner hadde opplevd en rekke overgrepserfaringer. Resultatene fra denne studien indikerer at overgrepserfaringer spiller en nøkkelrolle i utviklingen av psykiske lidelser og utviklingen av dårlig livskvalitet blant ungdom i barnevernsinstitusjoner. Global selvfølelse ble identifisert som en mediator, og kan derfor vaere et velegnet angrepspunkt for intervensjon innenfor denne ungdomsgruppa. Studien åpner for muligheten av at tiltak som øker selvbild...

“…Thus, several longitudinal studies (Johnson, Cohen, Kasen, & Brook, 2002; Noll, Zeller, Trickett, & Putnam, 2007; Thomas, Hypponen, & Power, 2008) and a meta-analysis (Danese & Tan, 2014) pointed towards an increased risk for obesity in adulthood if any childhood trauma had occurred. Furthermore, higher risks for cardiovascular disease (Doom, Mason, Suglia, & Clark, 2017) and hypertension (Suglia, Clark, Boynton-Jarrett, Kressin, & Koenen, 2014) after child maltreatment were reported in longitudinal assessments.…”

Background: Child maltreatment is a major public problem, associated with enormous consequences on the individual and socioeconomic level. Studies show a clear impact of child maltreatment on long-term physical health. However, there is a lack of analyses comprising a wide variety of subtypes of maltreatment and addressing cumulative effects of different maltreatment subtypes experienced during childhood on physical health. Objective: The objective of this analysis was to assess the association of different subtypes and the intensity of child maltreatment with long-term physical health outcomes. Methods: In a cross-sectional observational approach, a representative sample of the German population (N=2510) was assessed regarding socioeconomic information, their current health status, and their experiences of child maltreatment using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ). Chi2-Tests were performed to compare differences of physical health conditions in adulthood in association with child maltreatment and binary regression analyses to assess the relationship of physical health and number of different subtypes of maltreatment experienced during childhood. Results: Odds increased significantly for obesity (1.8), diabetes (1.26), cancer (1.28), hypertension (1.16), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (1.51), history of myocardial infarction (1.29) and stroke (1.31) with increasingenhancing number of experienced subtypes of child maltreatment. Growing intensity of each subtype of maltreatment was associated with higher rates of all assessed physical health conditions, which could point towards a dose-dependency of the relationship between maltreatment and long-term physical health. Conclusions: Child maltreatment is associated with increased odds for the leading morbidity and mortality causes in Germany. Interventions encompassing secondary and primary preventive strategies are critical to target this major public health problem and its devastating consequences.

“…The link between childhood trauma and inflammation may help us understand the enduring effects of childhood trauma on later mental and physical health (Agnew-Blais & Danese, 2016; Danese & Tan, 2013; Nanni, Uher, & Danese, 2012). Inflammation can affect the risk for psychopathology by altering the metabolism of key neurotransmitters including monoamines and glutamate; in addition, when acting in early life, inflammation can also impact on brain development and influence the reactivity of the HPA axis and microglia to later stressors (Danese & Lewis, 2017).…”
