Early experience of abuse may be viewed as a risk factor for mental disorders in women later in life. This case-control study in Isfahan screened 709 women aged 20-45 years using the Beck Depression Inventory and structured clinical interviews for Diagnostic Statistical Manual-IV criteria. Lifetime history of abuse was determined using a standard questionnaire. Among the women 35.1% had experienced fear of or actual abuse (physical, sexual or both) in childhood or adolescence. The risk of having major depression in adult life was significantly higher in women who experienced abuse in childhood and adolescence (OR 4.3), severe degrees of abuse (OR 3.9) or multiple forms of abuse (OR 3.8).
早期的虐待经历可能被视为女性晚年精神障碍的一个风险因素。这项在伊斯法罕进行的病例对照研究使用贝克抑郁量表和结构化临床访谈对诊断统计手册第四版标准对 709 名年龄在 20-45 岁的女性进行了筛选。使用标准问卷确定了一生中的虐待史。在这些女性中，35.1%的人在童年或青少年时期经历过恐惧或实际的虐待（身体、性或两者兼有）。在童年和青少年时期经历过虐待（OR 4.3）、虐待程度严重（OR 3.9）或多种形式虐待（OR 3.8）的女性，成年后患重度抑郁症的风险显著更高。
