^*Separate models were run for each abuse exposure

^†Adjusted for child physical and sexual abuse, race, parental educational attainment, somatogram score at age 5, and BMI at age 18; when additionally adjusted for adult baseline (2001) BMI, physical activity, alcohol intake, and smoking, HRs were 1.04 (95% CI: 0.98, 1.10) and 1.00 (95% CI: 0.92, 1.08) for physical and sexual abuse, respectively, and 1.02 (95% CI: 0.92, 1.12) and 1.22 (95% CI: 1.00, 1.50) for WEB scores of 20–39 and 40–60, respectively.
