Children who experience poverty, particularly during early life or for an extended period, are at risk of a host of adverse health and developmental outcomes through their life course.1 Poverty has a profound effect on specific circumstances, such as birth weight, infant mortality, language development, chronic illness, environmental exposure, nutrition, and injury.

Our findings add insight into the pathways linking early childhood adversity to poor adult wellbeing.29 Complementing past work that focused on physical health, 9 our findings provide information about links between ACEs and early childhood outcomes at the intersection of learning, behavior, and health.29 We found that ACEs experienced in early childhood were associated with poor foundational skills, such as language and literacy, that predispose individuals to low educational attainment and adult literacy, both of which are related to poor health.23, 30 — 33 Attention problems, social problems, and aggression were also associated with ACEs and also have the potential to interfere with children's educational experience given known associations between self - regulatory behavior and academic achievement.34, 35 Consistent with the original ACE study and subsequent research, we found that exposure to more ACEs was associated with more adverse outcomes, suggesting a dose — response association.3 — 8 In fact, experiencing ≥ 3 ACEs was associated with below - average performance or problems in every outcome examined.

Relative to children with no ACEs, children who experienced ACEs had increased odds of having below - average academic skills including poor literacy skills, as well as attention problems, social problems, and aggression, placing them at significant risk for poor school achievement, which is associated with poor health.23 Our study adds to the growing literature on adverse outcomes associated with ACEs3 — 9,24 — 28 by pointing to ACEs during early childhood as a risk factor for child academic and behavioral problems that have implications for education and health trajectories, as well as achievement gaps and health disparities.

Interventions targeting modifiable risk factors (eg, smoking, inactivity, and poor diet) in adult life have only limited efficacy in preventing age - related disease.3, 4 Because of the increasing recognition that preventable risk exposures in early life may contribute to pathophysiological processes leading to age - related disease, 5,6 the science of aging has turned to a life - course perspective.7, 8 Capitalizing on this perspective, this study tested the contribution of adverse psychosocial experiences in childhood to 3 adult conditions that are known to predict age - related diseases: depression, inflammation, and the clustering of metabolic risk markers, hereinafter referred to as age - related - disease risks.
