Violence as a small increase womens risk of thyroid disease
A study revealed that women who experienced physical abuse as children have an increased risk of thyroid disease more than women who did not experience physical abuse as a child.
"We found a significant association with thyroid disease in women who have experienced violence in childhood," said lead researcher Esme Fuller Thomson, professor of the University of Toronto;s Faculty of Social Work, as reported by U.S. News .
Thomson explained that first they thought it must be related to stress, smoking, drinking alcohol, and other factors related to violence as a child. But in fact, after accounting for all factors, the researchers found that the risk is still quite large, namely 40 percent in women who have experienced violence as a child.
These results were found after researchers analyzed data from 13,000 adults in Canada. More than 1,000 women are known to experience physical violence before the age of 18 years and about 900 women said they had thyroid disease.
Loriena Yancura, assistant researcher from the University of Hawaii explained that the possibility of it is influenced by the trauma experienced by women due to physical abuse as a child. Trauma then change the way their bodies respond to stress to adults and are associated with thyroid.
