AOR-2 (Any child abuse) = adjusted for sociodemographic variables, smoking, obesity, any Composite International Diagnostic Interview mental disorder, any self-reported mental condition, and any other physical condition
AOR-2 (Any physical abuse) = adjusted for sociodemographic variables, smoking, obesity, any Composite International Diagnostic Interview mental disorder, any self-reported mental condition, any other physical conditions, and sexual abuse, and exposure to intimate partner violence
AOR-2 (Any physical condition) = odds ratios adjusted for sociodemographic variables, smoking, obesity, any Composite International Diagnostic Interview mental disorder, any self-reported mental condition, and other types of child abuse
Notes: Reference category is not experiencing specific type of abuse. Models excluded pregnant women because BMI was not calculated for these respondents.
