Secondary analysis, results from the multivariable regression models with body shape as outcome—baseline: Model 3 – model 6 are showing the effect of each childhood trauma category on body shape. We could identify distinct differences between the sexes. In women, both emotional categories are predictors for an increased WHtR, while in men, the physical categories are relevant. Follow-up: Similar to the baseline, the sexes are affected by different categories. The trend was stable with emotional categories being more relevant in women, while physical trauma was more relevant in men.
