Childhood Abuse and Inflammatory Responses to Daily Stressors
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Childhood abuse leads to greater morbidity and mortality in adulthood. Dysregulated physiological stress responses may underlie the greater health risk among abused individuals. PURPOSE: This study evaluated the impact of childhood abuse on inflammatory responses to naturalistically occurring daily stressors. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study of 130 older adults, recent daily stressors and childhood abuse history were evaluated using the Daily Inventory of Stressful Events and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. Blood samples provided data on circulating interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and C-reactive protein (CRP). RESULTS: Childhood abuse history moderated IL-6 levels but not TNF-α and CRP responses to daily stressors. Individuals with a childhood abuse history who experienced multiple stressors in the past 24 h had IL-6 levels 2.35 times greater than those of participants who reported multiple daily stressors but no early abuse history. CONCLUSION: Childhood abuse substantially enhances IL-6 responses to daily stressors in adulthood.

Concentrations of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α are elevated with childhood maltreatment.
“Concentrations of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α are elevated with childhood maltreatment (Gouin et al, 2012;Hartwell et al, 2013;Kiecolt-Glaser et al, 2011;Smith et al, 2011;Tietjen et al, 2012).”
From Inflammation in Fear- and Anxiety-Based Disorders: PTSD, GAD, and Beyond (2017) · cites this paper as Gouin et al, 2012
The Results report higher IL-6 levels among adults with a childhood abuse history, particularly after multiple daily stressors. TNF-α was only marginally associated with childhood adversity, and abuse did not moderate its response to daily stressors. The Methods list IL-6, TNF-α, and CRP assays, but not IL-1β; the paper therefore does not support the claim for all three cytokines. (LLM, conf=0.90)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredA socially tumultuous early environment predicts greater IL-6 responses to daily life stressors in a cross-sectional study of older adults.
“greater IL-6 responses to daily life stressors in a crosssectional study of older adults”

Evidence suggests that early life stress increases inflammatory responses to minor daily stressors during adulthood.
“there is also evidence that ELS enhances inflammatory responses to minor daily life stressors in adulthood (67).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
