Childhood friendships have been shown to impact mental health over the short term; however, it is unclear whether these effects are sustained into young adulthood. We studied the prospective association between childhood friendships and psychological difficulties in young adulthood. Data come from 1,103 French 22-35 year olds participating in the TEMPO study. Childhood friendships were ascertained in 1991 when participants were 4-16 years old. Psychological difficulties were measured in 2009 using the Adult Self-Report. Logistic regression models controlled for participants' age, sex, childhood psychological difficulties and parental characteristics. Young adults who had no childhood friends had higher odds of psychological difficulties than those with at least one friend: (adjusted ORs 2.45; 95% CI 1.32-4.66, p = 0.01 for high internalizing symptoms; 1.81; 95% CI 0.94-3.54, p = 0.08 for high externalizing symptoms). Social relations early in life may have consequences for adult psychological well-being.
童年友谊已被证明在短期内会影响心理健康；然而，这些影响是否会持续到青年期尚不清楚。我们研究了童年友谊与青年期心理问题之间的前瞻性关联。数据来自参与TEMPO研究的1103名22至35岁的法国年轻人。童年友谊是在1991年参与者4至16岁时确定的。2009年使用成人自我报告对心理问题进行了测量。逻辑回归模型对参与者的年龄、性别、童年心理问题和父母特征进行了控制。没有童年朋友的年轻人出现心理问题的几率高于至少有一个朋友的年轻人：（调整后的比值比为2.45；95%置信区间为1.32 - 4.66，高内化症状的p值 = 0.01；1.81；95%置信区间为0.94 - 3.54，高外化症状的p值 = 0.08）。生命早期的社会关系可能会对成人的心理健康产生影响。
