We examined whether the timing of when a person experienced the loss of a parent to incarceration was significantly associated with allostatic load, a multisystem index of biological dysregulation.
Data were drawn from waves I and IV of National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, a nationally representative sample of adolescents in 1994. The final analytic sample was restricted to responses with valid responses and valid sampling weights (n = 13,365). Survey-corrected negative binomial regressions were used to assess relationships between timings of parental incarceration and allostatic load.
Compared with respondents with no history of parent incarceration, reporting the incarceration of a parent in childhood was associated with higher allostatic load scores, whereas losing a parent to incarceration in adulthood was associated with significantly lower allostatic load scores.
The physiological consequences of parental incarceration are associated with the developmental period in which the incarceration occurred. The risk of biological dysregulation may be greatest among those who experience the loss of a parent to incarceration in childhood.
我们研究了一个人经历父母入狱的时间是否与身体失调的多系统指标——全身适应综合征显著相关。
数据来自青少年至成人健康纵向研究的第 I 波和第 IV 波，这是一项针对青少年的全国代表性样本。最终的分析样本仅限于具有有效回复和有效抽样权重的回复（n=13365）。采用调查校正的负二项回归来评估父母入狱时间与全身适应综合征之间的关系。
与没有父母入狱史的受访者相比，报告父母在童年时入狱与更高的全身适应综合征评分相关，而成年时父母入狱与全身适应综合征评分显著降低相关。
父母入狱的生理后果与入狱发生的发展时期有关。在那些经历父母在童年时入狱的人中，生物失调的风险可能最大。
