Odds of reporting anxiety and pain in the community and clinical samples in subjects reporting various types of childhood trauma (CTQ)
| Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) | Group (C) vs. (A) | Group (D) vs. (A) | Group (C) vs. (B) | Group (D) vs. (B) | Group (D) vs. (C) |

Note: Various types of childhood trauma as independent variables dichotomized according to Walker’s clinical cut-off scoring [48]. Multinomial logistic regression models were adjusted for gender and age. (A) Community sample reporting no chronic condition (n = 405); (B) Community sample reporting other chronic conditions (n = 506); (C) Community sample reporting concurrently anxiety and pain, (n = 91); (D) Clinical sample (respondents with a clinical diagnosis of anxiety or adjustment disorder who concurrently reported anxiety and some pain condition, n = 32). OR = odds ratio; 95% CI = 95% confidence interval of the odds ratio; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
