Long-term alteration of heart rate variability following childhood maltreatment: Results of a general population study
This study highlights long-term ANS dysregulation following CM, particularly neglect, indicated by altered vagal-sensitive HRV metrics. Although small in magnitude, the effect on the ANS was independent of adult biopsychosocial factors. This long-term dysregulation may contribute to an increased risk of adverse health outcomes in adulthood.
