Specifically, the ACE Study model relies strongly on the idea that adverse
childhood experiences create a burden of psychological stress that changes behavior, cognitions, emotions, and physical functions in ways that promote subsequent health problems and illness.22 Among the hypothesized pathways, adverse

disorder, which in turn can lead to substance abuse,
sleep disorders, inactivity, immunosuppression, inflammatory responses, and inconsistent health care use, possibly leading to other medical conditions later in life.23, 24 Therefore,
childhood behavioral and emotional symptoms very likely represent a crucial mediator linking adverse
childhood experiences and the longer term health - related problems found in the ACE substudies.
