“…Studies have examined parental abuse and neglect, but not parenting style, and mortality mostly in adults younger than 60 years. 6,7,27,28 Most 7,27,28 but not all 6 of these studies reported a positive association between adverse childhood experiences and the risk of death. This evidence largely concurs with our findings both in terms of direction of causality and magnitude of the associations.…”

Background Parenting style is associated with offspring health, but whether it is associated with offspring mortality at older ages remains unknown. Aims We examined whether childhood experiences of suboptimal parenting style are associated with increased risk of death at older ages. Method Longitudinal cohort study of 1,964 community-dwelling adults aged 65 to 79 years. Results The association between parenting style and mortality was inverse and graded. Participants in the poorest parenting style score quartile had increased risk of death (hazard ratio (HR) 1.72; 95% CI, 1.20-2.48) compared with those in the optimal parenting style score quartile after adjustment for age and sex. Full adjustment for covariates partially explained this association (HR 1.49; 95% CI, 1.02-2.18). Parenting style was inversely associated with cancer and other mortality, but not cardiovascular mortality. Maternal and paternal parenting styles were individually associated with mortality. Conclusions Experiences of suboptimal parenting in childhood are associated with increased risk of death at older ages.

“…In addition, African American participants also self-reported higher involvement in violent offenses (Loeber et al, 2015). One plausible explanation for the higher prevalence of violent offending is that African American boys in the PYS were generally exposed to more risk factors than White boys, including poor family communication, and neighborhood quality (Fite, Wynn, & Pardini, 2009) as well as a higher prevalence of childhood maltreatment (25% of African American boys compared with 17% of White boys; Lee et al, 2012; Lee & White, 2012). Lee and colleagues (2012) noted that that a larger number of African American boys than White boys had been exposed to childhood maltreatment.…”

“… 17 51 52 Early life maltreatment, a combined measure of abuse and neglect, has also been associated with a greater risk of total or injury related mortality during adulthood. 16 17 18 19 In a large retrospective cohort study of 331 254 young Australians, Segal and colleagues reported a greater risk of total and cause specific mortality (eg, deaths from suicide, poisonings, or alcohol) between ages 16 and 33 years among those with versus those without child protection service involvement. 21 However, few population studies to date have explored the association of individual types of early life abuse with subsequent long term risk of mortality.…”

“… 13 14 15 Meanwhile, several population studies have shown that experiencing individual or combined types of abuse in early life is associated with a greater risk of total and injury related mortality in adulthood. 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 However, the association of childhood or adolescent abuse with total and cause specific premature mortality remains unclear. More importantly, while numerous studies have associated early life abuse with adult risk of mental health conditions (eg, depression and anxiety) 15 23 and adverse lifestyle patterns (eg, poorer diet, obesity, and smoking), 24 25 no study has examined potential interactive and mediating roles of these factors.…”

Objective To explore associations between early life physical and sexual abuse and subsequent risk of premature mortality (death before age 70 years). Design Prospective cohort study. Setting The Nurses’ Health Study II (2001-19). Participants 67 726 female nurses aged 37-54 years when completing a violence victimization questionnaire in 2001. Main outcome measures Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for total and cause specific premature mortality by childhood or adolescent physical and sexual abuse, estimated by multivariable Cox proportional hazard models. Results 2410 premature deaths were identified over 18 years of follow-up. Nurses who experienced severe physical abuse or forced sexual activity in childhood and adolescence had a higher crude premature mortality rate than nurses without such abuse in childhood or adolescence (3.15 v 1.83 and 4.00 v 1.90 per 1000 person years, respectively). The corresponding age adjusted hazard ratios for premature deaths were 1.65 (95% confidence interval 1.45 to 1.87) and 2.04 (1.71 to 2.44), respectively, which were materially unchanged after further adjusting for personal characteristics and early life socioeconomic status (1.53, 1.35 to 1.74, and 1.80, 1.50 to 2.15, respectively). Cause specific analyses indicated that severe physical abuse was associated with a greater risk of mortality due to external causes of injury and poisoning (multivariable adjusted hazard ratio 2.81, 95% confidence interval 1.62 to 4.89), suicide (3.05, 1.41 to 6.60), and diseases of the digestive system (2.40, 1.01 to 5.68). Forced sexual activity as a child and adolescent was associated with greater risk of mortality due to cardiovascular disease (2.48, 1.37 to 4.46), external injury or poisoning (3.25, 1.53 to 6.91), suicide (4.30, 1.74 to 10.61), respiratory disease (3.74, 1.40 to 9.99), and diseases of the digestive system (4.83, 1.77 to 13.21). The association of sexual abuse with premature mortality was stronger among women who smoked or had higher levels of anxiety during adulthood. Smoking, low physical activity, anxiety, and depression each explained 3.9-22.4% of the association between early life abuse and premature mortality. Conclusion Early life physical and sexual abuse could be associated with a greater risk of adult premature mortality.
