Childhood exposures to violence from parents, siblings, and peers were assessed through a life history questionnaire. Depressive symptoms were measured using the validated 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. The primary outcome was self-reported, physician-diagnosed CVD. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models with age as the time scale were used. The study included 11 398 participants, with a mean (SD) age of 58 (9) years, of whom 5622 (49.3%) were men. Among participants, 1101 (9.7%) reported frequent childhood violence exposure, including violence from parents (623, 5.5%), siblings (117, 1.0%), and peers (515, 4.5%). Frequent exposures to violence from parents, siblings, peers, or any type were associated with increased risks of CVD, with hazard ratios of 1.23 (95% confidence interval: 1.04\u20131.45), 1.24 (0.87\u20131.75), 1.25 (1.05\u20131.49), and 1.22 (1.06\u20131.40), respectively. The associations were consistent across subgroups and multiple sensitivity analyses. Adult depressive symptoms mediated 23.0% of the association between frequent exposure to violence and CVD (P for mediation = 0.03).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Childhood exposure to violence from parents, siblings, and peers is associated with an elevated risk of adult-onset CVD.
