  1. Note ACEs, adverse childhood experiences. OR, odds ratio. CI, confidence interval. All OR values were adjusted for maternal ACEs, maternal age, maternal residence, maternal education, maternal age at the first marriage, age at menarche, maternal health status in childhood, parity, and maternal marriage times, as well as paternal age, paternal education, paternal age at the first marriage, paternal health status in childhood, and paternal marriage times. Item “2” in the “No. of ACEs” section is for overall and intra-familial ACEs while item “2 or more” is for extra-familial ACEs. "*" means a P value<0.05. "**" means a P value <0.01. "***" means a P value <0.001.
