Childhood Adversities

Abstract Introduction Chronic pain is common among employees. Childhood adversities are known determinants of adult health but their association with chronic pain in adulthood is largely unknown. We aimed to examine the associations between childhood adversities and chronic pain among midlife employees. Methods Data on seven childhood adversities and chronic pain (pain having lasted at least 3 months) were derived from the baseline survey of the Helsinki Health Study collected in 2000 to 2002 among 40 to 60-year-old employees of the City of Helsinki in Finland. The study included 8140 employees of whom 80% were women. The analyses were made by logistic regression and the results are presented as odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI). Age, gender, father’s education, own education, marital status, working conditions, sleep problems and common mental disorders were included as covariates. Results Economic difficulties in the childhood family (OR 1.60, 95% CI 1.41-1.81), childhood illness (1.74, 1.45-2.08), parental divorce (1.26, 1.07-1.48), parental alcohol problems (1.34, 1.18-1.52) and bullying in school or among peers (1.59, 1.37-1.89) were associated with an increased odds of chronic pain in midlife. Adjusting for father’s education, own education and marital status did not contribute to the associations. Working conditions, sleep problems and common mental disorders slightly attenuated the associations between childhood adversities and chronic pain. Conclusions Childhood adversities associate to chronic pain in midlife. The results suggest that promoting well-being among children might lead to less pain decades after childhood. Key messages Childhood adversities are associated with chronic pain in adulthood. Considering well-being among children might lead to less pain decades after childhood.

Questionnaire Surveys

Aims: Chronic pain is a notable burden on public health, with past and present factors contributing to it. This study aimed to examine the associations between childhood adversities and chronic pain. Methods: Data on seven childhood adversities, chronic pain and disabling pain were derived from questionnaire surveys conducted in 2000, 2001 and 2002 among 40- to 60-year-old employees (response rate of 67%) of the City of Helsinki, Finland. The study included 8140 employees (80% women). Logistic regression was used in the analyses, and the results are presented as odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI). Age, sex, the father’s education, the participant’s education, marital status, working conditions, sleep problems and common mental disorders were included as covariates. Results: In the age-adjusted models, childhood economic difficulties (OR=1.60, 95% CI 1.41–1.81), childhood illness (OR=1.74, 95% CI 1.45–2.08), parental divorce (OR=1.26, 95% CI 1.07–1.48), parental alcohol problems (OR=1.34, 95% CI 1.18–1.52) and bullying at school or among peers (OR=1.59, 95% CI 1.37–1.89) were associated with chronic pain. Working conditions, sleep problems and common mental disorders each slightly attenuated the associations between childhood adversities and chronic pain. Childhood economic difficulties among women (OR=1.72, 95% CI 1.40–2.10), childhood illness (OR=1.40, 95% CI 1.07–1.82) and bullying at school or by peers (OR=1.91 95% CI 1.48–2.46) were also associated with disabling pain. Conclusions: Childhood adversities were associated with chronic pain in mid-life, and the associations mainly remained after adjustments. Investing in the well-being of children might prevent pain and promote well-being in mid-life.

Prevalence Estimates

SummaryThe paper presents an overview of the WHO World Mental Health (WMH) Survey Initiative and summarizes recent WMH results regarding the prevalence and societal costs of mental disorders. The WMH surveys are representative community surveys that were carried out in 28 countries throughout the world aimed at providing information to mental health policy makers about the prevalence, burden, and unmet need for treatment of common mental disorders. Results show that mental disorders are commonly occurring in all participating countries. The inter-quartile range (IQR: 25th-75th percentiles) of lifetime DSM-IV disorder prevalence estimates (combining anxiety, mood, disruptive behavior, and substance disorders) is 18.1-36.1%. The IQR of 12-month prevalence estimates is 9.8-19.1%. Analysis of age-of-onset reports shows that many mental disorders begin in childhood-adolescence and have significant adverse effects on subsequent role transitions. Adult mental disorders are found in the WMH data to be associated with high levels of role impairment. Despite this burden, the majority of mental disorders go untreated. Although these results suggest that expansion of treatment could be cost-effective from both the employer perspective and the societal perspective, treatment effectiveness trials are needed to confirm this suspicion. The WMH results regarding impairments are being used to target several such interventions.
