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.
