The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE)
Study looked at over 17000 middle class, middle - aged Americans (average age in the 50s) and found dose - dependent
associations between the number of adverse childhood experiences (see Table 1) and a
wide array of outcomes,
including markers for social functioning, sexual health, mental health, risk factors for common diseases, and prevalent diseases (see Table 2).4, 6 The retrospective ACE
Study and several smaller but prospective
studies indicate that adverse experiences in childhood influence behavior, mental wellness, and physical health decades later.1, 2,5,10
