Model 1, regression model including the control variables age and gender and the ACE sum score. Model 2–4, regression models including the control variables and one ACE dimension. Model 5, regression model including the control variables and all three ACE dimension. ΔR2, change in the estimate of adjusted R2 between the null model (only control variables as predictors) and models 1–5, respectively. In logistic regression, R2 was estimated according to Cox and Snell/Nagelkerkes. B, unstandardized regression coefficient; ß, standardized regression coefficient.

*

Significant at 0.05 α error level.

Significant regression coefficients are shown on a gray background, the lighter gray indicating that the association did not reach significance any more upon statistical control for the other ACE dimensions. Sum score = sum score of the Adverse Childhood Experiences questionnaire (ACE). BMI, body mass index [kg/m2]; PY, pack years = lifetime nicotine exposure; GSI, Global Severity Index of the Symptom Checklist Revised 90 (SCL-R-90). Cognitive restraint of eating (o.e.), disinhibition of eating and hunger denominate scales of the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ), maximum pain, mean pain and impairment due to pain denominate scales of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). Eating Disorder, Anorexia nervosa, Bulimia nervosa and/or Binge Eating Disorder. MDD, Major Depressive Disorder; BDI, Beck's Depression Inventory; QIDS, Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms; BPD, Borderline Personality Disorder; PTSD, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder; OCD, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder; M, multiple linear regression; N, nominal logistic regression.
