Examining associations between early adverse life events and health anxiety using the DanFund study

Childhood adverse life events, in particular illness-related events, have been proposed as a risk factor for development of health anxiety. To examine: 1) The association between accumulated early adverse life events and health anxiety in adulthood and 2) The influence of specific types of life even...

description Childhood adverse life events, in particular illness-related events, have been proposed as a risk factor for development of health anxiety. To examine: 1) The association between accumulated early adverse life events and health anxiety in adulthood and 2) The influence of specific types of life events, i.e., illness, injury, loss, and the impact of their exposure time on health anxiety in adulthood. A population-based, cross-sectional study including 7454 participants from the Danish study of Functional Disorders (DanFunD). Health anxiety was assessed with Whiteley-6-R and early adverse life events with the Cumulative Lifetime Adversity Measure. Caseness was defined as a Whiteley-6-R score ≥ 90%ile. Generalised linear models were used to estimate the association with relative risk (RRa, adjusted for sociodemographics). A cumulative effect was found for each additional adverse life event with 8.03% increased risk of health anxiety. Two categories were associated with a higher risk: violence (RRa = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.37–1.99, P
