Objectives The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between the age of menarche and the prevalence of gynecological cancer. Methods A total of 5540 women were screened from those who participated in the National Health And Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) questionnaire from 2007–2020, and their variable factors of age, race, education level, Poverty Impact Ratio (PIR), marital status, Body Mass Index (BMI), waist circumference, duration of moderate exercise, smoking habits, hypertension status, energy intake, diabetes and alcohol consumption habits were analysed statistically and by logistic regression. Results Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis of the relationship between age at menarche and gynaecological cancer (Uterus / Cervix / Ovary Cancer, the following gynecologic cancers in the article refer to having at least one of these three cancers) prevalence showed a negative association between age at menarche and gynaecological cancer prevalence (OR: 0.82, 95%CI: 0.69–0.97), with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.02). Regression results of the association between age at menarche and different types of gynaecological cancers found a negative association between age at menarche and prevalence in uterine cancers (P = 0.03) and no association between age at menarche and prevalence in cervical and ovarian cancers (P = 0.17, P = 0.29). Those with a younger age at menarche were more likely to develop uterine cancer (OR: 0.72, 95%CI: 0.54–0.98). Conclusions There was a correlation between age at menarche and gynaecological cancer, with those who had menarche at an earlier age being at a higher risk of gynaecological cancer. More obviously, the younger the age of first menstruation, the higher the risk of uterine cancer.

BackgroundAdverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been found to negatively impact adult mental health outcomes. Numerous studies have highlighted on ACEs in family and community settings. However, few have examined the impact of ACEs in school settings, despite the potential influence on social participation. Hikikomori, characterized by severe social withdrawal, was first studied in Japan and has gained recognition in recent years. The present study aims to present the concept of ACEs specific to schools and investigate the impact of both school ACEs and traditional ACEs on adult mental health and Hikikomori.MethodsA total of 4,000 Japanese adults, aged 20–34, were recruited through an Internet survey form. All data were obtained in October 2021. Participants answered questions regarding their ACEs in the family (10 items), school ACEs (five teacher-related items and two bullying-related items), depressive/anxiety symptoms, and Hikikomori (remaining at home for more than 6 months).ResultsA significant association with depressive/anxiety symptoms was shown in both ACEs and school ACEs. An increase of one point in the ACE scores was associated with a 24% increase in the risk of depressive/anxiety symptoms. School ACE scores also demonstrated a significant association with depressive/anxiety symptoms, with an increase of one point associated with a 44% increase in the risk of these symptoms. As for Hikikomori, a significant association was shown in the school ACEs only: a 29% increased risk of Hikikomori for every one-point increase in school ACE scores. Both school ACE scores for teacher-related and bullying-related factors revealed a significant association with Hikikomori; the rates of increased risk were 23 and 37%, respectively.ConclusionThese results suggest that school ACEs, rather than ACEs in the family, are associated with the risk of Hikikomori. School ACEs are important for social adaptation, and reducing traumatic experiences in school settings may have the potential to prevent problems in later life, specifically in terms of social participation.

(1) Objectives: The impact of abnormal body mass index (BMI) on health is extensive, and various risk factors contribute to its effects. This study aimed to examine the association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and BMI categories, including underweight, overweight, obesity, severe obesity, and morbid obesity; (2) Methods: Three databases were searched: Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus. Manual searches were conducted using Google Scholar and ResearchGate. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the association between ACEs and BMI. A random-effects model was used to combine the ORs and CIs across studies; (3) Results: This meta-analysis included 71 studies. The pooled ORs for the relationship between ACEs and obesity was 1.42 (95% CI: 1.24–1.63, Z = 4.96, p < 0.001), indicating a significant association. ACEs showed a positive association with overweight (OR = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.06–1.27, Z = 3.24, p = 0.001). Specifically, ACEs ≥ 4 were strongly associated with obesity (OR = 2.06, 95% CI: 1.27–3.36, Z = 2.90, p = 0.004). Sexual abuse was also found to be significantly associated with obesity (OR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.29–1.65, Z = 5.98, p < 0.001); (4) Conclusion: This study finds that individuals who have experienced ACEs are more likely to have a higher BMI in adulthood. Therefore, ACEs should be considered a factor associated with abnormal BMI.
