Childhood Trauma and Prevalence of Cardiovascular Disease in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes
Psychosomatic Medicine, 07/29/2010
Roy A et al. – Childhood seems to be an independent risk factor for the incidence of CVD in Type 1 DM. Of the 393 patients at risk, 60 (15.3%) had developed any CVD, 52 (12.9%) had coronary disease, and 16 (3.8%) had a stroke at the 6–year follow–up.

Childhood trauma scores were also significantly associated with depression and hostility scores, age, and renal disease.
