After adjusting for demographic behavioral factors, childhood adversity, psychiatric morbidity, compared those 120–129, scores 110–119, 100–109, 90–99, 80–89, 70–79 associated 1.07 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.63–1.84], 1.90 (95% CI 1.12–3.22), 1.80 1.05–3.13), 2.36 1.32–4.22), 2.25 1.26–4.01) times higher odds perpetration, respectively.ConclusionsLower general population. Further studies warranted how low can lead whether interventions possible high-risk group.
