Description
Early life abuse may leave marks that raise disease risk decades later. Adjoa Anyane-Yeboa and co-authors test whether childhood abuse predicts inflammatory bowel disease in a 2024 study of women health workers in the United States.
The cohort held more than sixty-eight thousand women followed from 1989 to 2017. Women reported emotional, physical, and sexual abuse in childhood on standard questionnaires. Severe abuse nearly doubled the risk of Crohn disease compared with no abuse, with risk rising step by step with severity. No such link appeared for ulcerative colitis, the sister condition. The authors add bowel disease to the list of adult harms tied to early stress.
