Soares AG, Zimmerman A, Zammit S, et al. - Findings demonstrate association of childhood abuse with negative cardiometabolic outcomes even by young adulthood. Early screening for cardiometabolic health could be beneficial for people who experience abuse in childhood.

• Data from 3,223 participants of the ALSPAC (Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children) were analyzed to examine links between childhood physical, sexual, and psychological abuse and cardiometabolic outcomes at 18 and 25 years.

• Physical, sexual, and psychological abuse were found to be linked with higher body mass index at 18 years; at age 25 these types of abuse were also identified to be related to higher insulin.

• Additional links were noted for specific types of abuse with results at both ages 18 and 25 years.

• There were similar links if abuse happened in childhood (<11 years) or adolescence (11–17 years).

• No gender differences existed for most associations, but males exhibited stronger links between sexual abuse and higher heart rate at both 18 and 25 years and between psychological abuse and higher triglycerides and higher C‐reactive protein at 25 years.
