目标。这项研究调查了儿童时期身体虐待对成年后健康问题的影响，并评估了这些关联中的性别差异。方法。我们使用了全国暴力侵害妇女行为调查中接受采访的 8000 名男性和 8000 名女性的数据。我们使用多元逻辑回归来测试主要效应和交互效应，并对显着的调节效应进行事后探索。结果。男性比女性更有可能在童年时期遭受身体虐待。虽然虐待对男孩和女孩都会产生负面影响，但通常对女孩的危害更大。结论。研究结果表明，在制定解决儿童身体虐待问题的干预策略时，需要考虑性别差异和长期不良健康后果。
Objectives. This study investigated the effects of physical abuse in childhood on health problems in adulthood and assessed gender differences in these associations.Methods. We used data from 8000 men and 8000 women who were interviewed in the National Violence Against Women Survey. We used multivariate logistic regression to test for main and interactive effects and conducted post hoc probing of significant moderational effects.Results. Men were more likely than women to have experienced physical abuse during childhood. Whereas abuse had negative consequences for both boys and girls, it was generally more detrimental for girls.Conclusions. Findings suggest the need to consider gender differences and long-term adverse health consequences in the development of intervention strategies to address physical abuse in childhood.
