Abstract
Childhood maltreatment has been found to predict somatic symptoms and chronic health problems in adults. Our research found emotional abuse and physical neglect the strongest predictors of somatic symptoms, while emotional neglect the best predictor of IBS. Results suggest complex relationships between types of childhood maltreatment and specific health outcomes.
