This study investigated the relationship between the age of -self-reported sexual abuse occurrence and the development of post-traumatic stress disorder and/or depressive symptoms in adulthood. Subjects were evaluated for the presence of post-traumatic stress disorder and/or depressive symptoms as well as for a self-reported history of sexual abuse before the age of 18. Results found that relative risk of having severe post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms was 10 times higher in patients reporting sexual abuse after age 12 than in those reporting sexual abuse before age 12. Relative risk of having severe depressive symptoms was higher for those abused before the age of 12 than for those abused after the age of 12. Findings suggest that the impact of reported sexual abuse at different stages of development may lead to distinct psychiatric symptoms in adulthood.
本研究调查了自我报告的性虐待发生年龄与成年后创伤后应激障碍和/或抑郁症状发展之间的关系。对受试者进行评估，以确定是否存在创伤后应激障碍和/或抑郁症状，以及18岁之前自我报告的性虐待史。结果发现，报告12岁以后遭受性虐待的患者出现严重创伤后应激障碍症状的相对风险比报告12岁之前遭受性虐待的患者高10倍。12岁之前遭受虐待的人出现严重抑郁症状的相对风险高于12岁之后遭受虐待的人。研究结果表明，在不同发育阶段报告的性虐待影响可能导致成年后出现不同的精神症状。
