Compared to the low-risk class, women in the family discordance class had increased odds of high depressive symptoms (adjusted odds ratios [aOR] 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.80 [1.33, 2.56]) and comorbid high symptoms (aOR [95% CI] = 2.04 [1.43, 2.89]). Threat experiences were significantly linked to high depressive symptoms (aOR [95% CI] = 1.48 [1.22, 1.79]) and comorbid high symptoms (aOR [95% CI] = 1.53 [1.25, 1.87]).</p>\u0000 <p><b>Conclusion:</b> Using the DMAP and LCA approaches, we found that ACEs related to the familial environment and relationships during childhood were most strongly associated with prenatal high depressive and comorbid symptoms. This highlights the importance of operationalizing ACEs beyond a cumulative score to better capture their role in the development of prenatal mental health difficulties.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":55179,"journal":{"name":"Depression and Anxiety","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/da/1295206","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143914564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
