study precipitated interest in the health conditions of adults maltreated as children as it revealed links to chronic diseases such as obesity, autoimmune diseases, heart, lung and liver diseases, and cancer in adulthood.1 Since then, further evidence has revealed relationships between ACEs and physical and mental health outcomes, such as increased risk of substance abuse, suicide and premature mortality.4 7

study to investigate this mediational hypothesis in a systematic manner, our findings are consistent with previous findings indicating that disruption of interpersonal relationships is a predominant risk factor for suicide10, 13,49 and that interpersonal conflict or separation during adulthood partially mediated an association between neglectful overprotective parenting and subsequent suicide attempts.23 The present findings are also consistent with research indicating that stressful life
events mediated the association between
childhood adversities and suicidal behavior during adolescence or early adulthood, 8 that suicide is multidetermined, 2 and that youths who experience numerous adversities during
childhood and adolescence are at a particularly elevated risk for suicide.18, 22,49

childhood maltreatment, parental and offspring psychiatric symptoms, negative life
events, and severe interpersonal difficulties based on data from multiple informants; and the use of statistical procedures to control for offspring age, sex, and offspring and parental psychiatric symptoms.

Study's early life predictors of health outcomes.21 It allows the possibility of obtaining a more accurate and comprehensive assessment of
childhood events than one would be able to obtain after many years.
