Xiang X, et al. - This study was intended to assess whether and how childhood adversities are associated with major depression in older adults over 8 years. Researchers included a total of 16,946 participants aged 51 years and older from the US Health and Retirement Study. The Composite International Diagnostic Interview was used to evaluate major depression. They performed a competing‐risks regression analysis to evaluate the effect of each childhood adversity on late‐life major depression and the potential moderation effects of gender, race/ethnicity, and adulthood trauma. In later life, childhood adversities increase the risk of major depression, especially for those who experienced physical abuse and trouble with the police. It was considered that men may be more susceptible to the mental health detriments of childhood adversities.
