Abstract
Childhood maltreatment is strongly associated with inflammatory related disease, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD). Our study demonstrates that women veterans report high levels of childhood maltreatment as compared to civilians and childhood maltreatment is associated with a serum biomarker of endothelial dysfunction, a precursor of CVD
