Title: | Effects of Subtypes of Child Maltreatment on CRP in Adulthood | Contributor(s): | Bitsika, Vicki (author) ; Sharpley, Christopher F (author) ; McMillan, Mary E (author) ; Jesulola, Emmanuel (author); Agnew, Linda L (author) | Publication Date: | 2021-11-18 | Open Access: | Yes | DOI: | 10.3389/fpsyt.2021.533722 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/36995 | Abstract: | In order to evaluate the effects of specific forms of childhood maltreatment (CM) upon adult C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations, and to further describe the potentially confounding role that recent life stress and depression hold in that relationship, 221 participants from rural Australia (M age = 44yr, SD = 17.8yr) completed self-report questionnaires and provided a blood sample. There were no sex differences in any variables across the 91 males and 130 females, but depression status did confound the association between global CM and CRP. The specific aspect of CM was identified as physical and mental health abuse, and this was significantly associated with CRP level in participants with depressive symptoms and those without. There was no significant confound from recent life stressors. Results hold implications for the diagnosis of CM-related CRP elevation and (potentially) depression. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Frontiers in Psychiatry, v.12, p. 1-6 | Publisher: | Frontiers Research Foundation | Place of Publication: | Switzerland | ISSN: | 1664-0640 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 320903 Central nervous system | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 200409 Mental health | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal |
