  1. Model 1 was a crude model. Model 2 adjusted for children’s age, sex, single child status, and primary caregivers, as well as maternal age, marital status, educational background, monthly per-capita income, level of family harmony, and negative emotional states
  2. ACEs adverse childhood experiences, HRQOL health-related quality of life, CI confidence interval
