Abstract
Dimensional research examining the long-term effects of childhood adversity on metabolic health in diverse groups is scarce. In a sample of 394 midlife Black and White women, we found that greater childhood exposure to deprivation, but not threat, was associated with poorer metabolic health in White, but not Black, women.
