“…Although several studies in the general population have demonstrated a significant link between child abuse and alcohol problems (e.g., Anda et al, 2002;Thompson, Arias, Basile, & Desai, 2002;Thompson, Kingree, & Desai, 2004), our results could not confirm this relationship.…”

“…Our results indicate that abuse was related to drug use problems, which is consistent with several studies of the general population (e.g., Dube et al, 2003;Felitti et al, 1998;Huang et al, 2011;Thompson et al, 2004). The results of this study are also along the same lines as those obtained by Callaghan et al (2006) and Jacobs and Gill (2001) which, however, address substance abuse in general without defining their nature (alcohol or drugs).…”

“…Substance use problems can be associated with several adverse health and social consequences (e.g., Thompson et al, 2004). It seems that individuals with substance use problems are susceptible, among other things, to other psychiatric symptoms, such as posttraumatic stress disorder or depression, which require more specialized treatments (Brems, Johnson, Neal, & Freemon, 2004).…”

Residential schools were the institutions, in operation from the 19th century to the late 20th century, which Indigenous children in Canada were forced to attend. The literature shows that many young people who attended these institutions were victims of neglect and abuse.Negative psychological effects resulting from child abuse have been amply documented.However, very few studies on this subject have been carried out among Canada's Indigenous peoples. The objective of this cross-sectional study is to evaluate, for an Indigenous population in (n = 121) reported having experienced child sexual abuse, and 34.1% (n = 117) reported having experienced child physical abuse. Results of the exact logistic regression analyses indicated that residential school attendance was linked to alcohol problems, while child abuse was related to drug use problems. The results of this study highlight the importance of considering the consequences of historical traumas related to residential schools to better understand the current situation of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

“…Ces résultats concordent avec plusieurs études effectuées chez la population générale qui ont démontré la présence d'un lien significatif entre les mauvais traitements durant l'enfance et les problèmes de consommation d'alcool (p.ex., Anda et al, 2002;Thompson, Arias, Basile, & Desai, 2002;Thompson, Kingree, & Desai, 2004) et de drogues (ex., Dube, Felitti, Dong, Chapman, Giles, & Anda, 2003Felitti et al, 1998;Huang et al, 2011;Thompson et al, 2004).

Association Between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Dementia in Older Japanese Adults

IMPORTANCEThe prevalence of dementia in Japan has been increasing. Childhood poverty has been associated with increased risk of cognitive impairment, possibly mediated by individuals' educational paths. However, the associations between dementia and adverse childhood experiences other than poverty and education have not been well documented.OBJECTIVE To examine the association between adverse childhood experiences and dementia onset among Japanese individuals born before 1948 who grew up during and after World War II. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTSA 3-year (2013-2016) follow-up was performed of 17 412 participants in the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study, a population-based cohort study of adults aged 65 years or older. Data were analyzed in December 2019. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Dementia onset was assessed through the public long-term care insurance system. Adverse childhood experiences before the age of 18 years were assessed by survey at baseline. Seven adverse childhood experiences were assessed: parental death, parental divorce, parental mental illness, family violence, physical abuse, psychological neglect, and psychological abuse. Participants were classified according to whether they had 0, 1, 2, or 3 or more adverse childhood experiences. Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios for the risk of dementia. RESULTS Among 17 412 participants (9281 women [53.3%]; mean [SD] age, 73.5 [6.0] years), dementia occurred in 703 participants (312 men and 391 women) during a mean follow-up of 3.2 years (range, 2.4-3.3 years). Among all participants, 6804 (39.1%) were older than 75 years; 10 968 (63.0%) reported 0 adverse childhood experiences, 5129 (29.5%) reported 1 adverse childhood experience, 964 (5.5%) reported 2 adverse childhood experiences, and 351 (2.0%) reported 3 or more adverse childhood experiences. Participants who experienced 3 or more adverse childhood experiences had a greater risk of developing dementia compared with those who grew up without adverse childhood experiences, after adjustment for age, sex, childhood economic hardship, nutritional environment, and education (hazard ratio, 2.18; 95% CI, 1.42-3.35). After successive adjustment for adult sociodemographic characteristics, social relationships, health behavior, and health status, this hazard ratio was attenuated but remained statistically significant (1.78; 95% CI, 1.15-2.75; P = .009). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCEThis study found that having 3 or more adverse childhood experiences was associated with increased dementia risk among older Japanese adults.
