Association between childhood polyvictimization, telomere length, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Background: Child maltreatment is related to adverse psychosocial outcomes and may be associated with telomere erosion. Longitudinal research on mental health problems and telomere length (TL) in victimized children in Asian societies is scarce. In this study, we evaluated the associations of childhood polyvictimization with TL and longitudinal psychological problems.
Methods: Subcohorts were obtained from a national, proportionately stratified sample of fourth-grade Taiwanese students recruited in 2014; the sample comprised 70 high-risk group participants (experience of polyvictimization) and 129 controls (nonvictims). For these 199 participants, TL was analyzed in 2014, whereas self-report post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom scales and psychological disorder/symptom were completed in 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2021.
Results: Childhood polyvictimization was associated with prolonged high PTSD symptom scores in 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2021. TL was significantly shorter among the polyvictims than among the nonvictims.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated an association between childhood polyvictimization and prolonged PTSD in children. Our findings also support the assertion that childhood polyvictimization is associated with telomere erosion.
期刊介绍:
Publishing articles of scientific excellence in pediatrics and child health delivery, Pediatrics International aims to encourage those involved in the research, practice and delivery of child health to share their experiences, ideas and achievements. Formerly Acta Paediatrica Japonica, the change in name in 1999 to Pediatrics International, reflects the Journal''s international status both in readership and contributions (approximately 45% of articles published are from non-Japanese authors). The Editors continue their strong commitment to the sharing of scientific information for the benefit of children everywhere.
Pediatrics International opens the door to all authors throughout the world. Manuscripts are judged by two experts solely upon the basis of their contribution of original data, original ideas and their presentation.
