Abstract in brief

  • Childhood trauma is linked to long-term health risks, including cardiovascular issues, especially in Black Americans who face higher rates of trauma and PTSD.
  • In a study of Black American children, higher violence exposure was associated with lower resting heart rate (HR), and this relationship was more pronounced in girls, who also showed stronger links between slower HR and PTSD symptoms.
  • The findings suggest sex differences in how trauma affects physiological responses, with girls more affected in terms of PTSD symptoms related to changes in heart rate, highlighting complex interactions between trauma, gender, and health.]
