OBJECTIVE
The association between childhood adversity and adulthood health is well established, but few studies have examined potential effects of childhood adversity on partner health in couples. This study examined the long-term health impact of childhood adversity on individuals as well as their significant others.
METHOD
The participants were 163 distinguishable dyads from the Family and Community Health Study. Health outcomes included both self-reported chronic illness and a messenger RNA index of accelerated aging. The actor-partner interdependence model with structural equation methods was used to test the hypothesis.
RESULTS
Replicating prior research, childhood adversity was associated with more chronic illness and an accelerated speed of aging. Further, participants' health in adulthood was affected by both own and partner experiences of childhood adversity. There were no gender differences.
CONCLUSION
Our findings replicate and extend prior research on the long-term impact of exposure to childhood adversity, suggesting that adverse childhood experiences are also harmful to romantic partners. Further studies are required to examine potential mechanisms. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
目的
儿童期逆境与成年期健康之间的关联已得到充分证实，但很少有研究探讨儿童期逆境对伴侣健康的潜在影响。本研究考察了儿童期逆境对个体及其重要他人的长期健康影响。
方法
参与者是来自家庭和社区健康研究的 163 对可区分的二人组。健康结果包括自我报告的慢性疾病和加速衰老的信使 RNA 指数。使用演员-伙伴相互依存模型和结构方程方法来检验假设。
结果
复制先前的研究，儿童期逆境与更多的慢性疾病和加速衰老速度有关。此外，参与者成年后的健康状况受到自身和伴侣儿童期逆境经历的影响。不存在性别差异。
结论
我们的研究结果复制并扩展了先前关于儿童期逆境暴露的长期影响的研究，表明儿童期逆境经历对浪漫伴侣也是有害的。需要进一步的研究来探讨潜在的机制。
