Every year it is estimated that millions of chil-dre n are abused and neglected. The negative consequences accompanying child m altreat-ment not only cause adverse consequences during childhood\, but al so initiate a negative developmental trajectory that lasts through the lif etime. However\, despite the increase risk of psychopathology\, research i ndicates that some abused individuals retain normal levels of functioning. This dynamic develop-mental process encompassing the attainment of positi ve adaptation within the context of significant adversity is referred as r esilience. It is of importance to understand the dynamic balance between r esilience and allostatic load in mental health and mental disorders. Recen t interesting findings of our studies include: 1) resilience and protectiv e factors among peo-ple with a history of child maltreatment\; 2) gender m oderates the relationship between childhood abuse and internalizing and su b-stance use disorders later in life\; and\, 3) child-hood maltreatment su bstantially increases the risk of adult depression and anxiety in pro-spec tive cohort studies.\n OBJECTIVES\n 1. There is a significant gender effect in the relationships between different types of childhood maltreatment and mental dis-orders. Appreciate the epidemiologic issues faced in estimatin g the link be-tween malnutrition and nutrition interven-tions on child dev elopment in resource-limited settings.\n 2. Protective factors associated w ith resili-ence at individual\, familial\, and societal levels reduced the likelihood of negative consequences of childhood maltreat-ment.\n 3. Publi c and population mental health preventions should focus on early child-hoo d and apply preventive strategies as early as possible.\n BIO: Xiangfei Men g\, a Medical Scientist in the Douglas Hospital Research Centre\, an Assis tant Professor in the Department of Psy-chiatry\, and an Associate Member in the De-partment of Epidemiology\, Biostatistics and Occupational Health at ɬÀï·¬.
