Table 4. Negative binomial regression parameter estimates, association of retrospective reports of childhood maltreatment with adult chronic conditions (MIDUS).

	Chronic conditions (NB regression)
No maltreatment either parent, positive relationship with both	reference
No maltreatment either parent, negative relationship with at least one	0.14a (0.09)b
Emotional maltreatment only by either parent, positive relationship with both	0.12c (0.07)
Emotional maltreatment only by either parent, negative relationship with at least one	0.39***c (0.09)
Both forms of maltreatment by either parent, positive relationship with both	0.25*d (0.11)
Both forms of maltreatment by either parent, negative relationship with at least one	0.51***d (0.10)
Age	0.02*** (0.002)
Female	0.25*** (0.05)
Nonwhite	-0.10 (0.11)
Education	-0.04*** (0.01)
Constant	0.25 (0.16)

^*p < .05;

^**p < .01;

^***p < .001 in comparison to reference group(no maltreatment reported)

^aUndstandardized coefficient

^bStandard error

^cp value for comparison of coefficient difference = .001; (F(1, 2995) = 10.26)

^dp value for comparison of coefficient difference = .063; (F(1, 2995) = 3.45)

Both forms of maltreatment includes emotional and physical maltreatment; too few cases experienced physical maltreatment only to constitute a valid category
