SummaryBased on our first analyses of NaKo-data on sex-specific relationships between childhood maltreatment (CM) and anthropometric markers we now want to expand our analyses to markers of subclinical atherosclerosis and left ventricular (LV) geometry and function, and look at sex-specific associations of CM and major depressive disorder (MDD) with morphological and functional left ventricular and atrial parameters, arterial stiffness and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT).
