早期经验的质量与主要照顾者的个体差异已经可靠地牵连在社会情绪调整的发展，最近，身体健康。然而，很少有研究探讨这种协会的发展与身体健康到成年。为此，目前的研究使用了来自NICHD早期儿童保育和青年发展研究的前瞻性纵向数据（N = 1，306，52%男性，77%白色/非西班牙裔），以调查在生命的前三年直接观察母体敏感性与重复评估两种常用的身体健康客观指标（即，体重和平均动脉血压）保持稳定或随时间减小。从54个月到26岁，早期母体敏感性和较低体重之间的关联保持相对稳定，并且对自回归和二阶稳定性过程的建模以及潜在的人口统计学混杂因素具有鲁棒性。相比之下，尽管从4级到15岁（迄今为止评估MAP的最大年龄），早期舒张和较低平均动脉压之间的相关性保持相对稳定，但这些相关性对于纳入协变量和二阶稳定性过程建模并不稳健。
Individual differences in the quality of early experiences with primary caregivers have been reliably implicated in the development of socioemotional adjustment and, more recently, physical health. However, few studies have examined the development of such associations with physical health into the adult years. To that end, the current study used prospective, longitudinal data from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (N = 1,306, 52% male, 77% White/non-Hispanic) to investigate whether associations between direct observations of maternal sensitivity in the first three years of life and repeated assessments of two commonly used, objective indicators of physical health (i.e., body mass and mean arterial blood pressure) remained stable or diminished in magnitude over time. Associations between early maternal sensitivity and lower body mass remained relatively stable from age 54 months to 26 years and were robust to the modeling of autoregressive and second order stability processes as well as the inclusion of potential demographic confounders. In contrast, although associations between early caregiving and lower mean arterial pressure remained relatively stable from Grade 4 to age 15 years (the oldest age for which MAP was assessed thus far), these associations were not robust to the inclusion of covariates and the modeling of second order stability processes.
