A total of 2812 adults who reported childhood maltreatment were matched with 3356 adults who reported no childhood maltreatment, and compared using propensity score methods. Health-related quality-of-life data (or “utilities”) were imputed from the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey using the Short Form–6D preference-based scoring algorithm. The combined strata-level effects of maltreatment on Short Form–6D utility was a reduction of 0.028 per year (p<0.001). All utility losses differed significantly between the two groups by age level: 18–39 years, p<0.042; 40–49 years, p<0.038; 50–59 years, p<0.023; 60–69 years, p<0.016; ≥70 years, p<0.025.
