How are adverse childhood events and less than ideal cardiovascular health in adulthood associated? CDCgov adversechildhoodevents cardiovascularhealth health cardio cardiovascular childhood disease
By Neha MathurFeb 22 2023Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent study published in Preventive Medicine, researchers evaluated associations between adverse childhood events and cardiovascular health .
ACEs are traumatic events experienced by children/adolescents aged zero to 17, e.g., witnessing or experiencing violence. Being raised in a household with financial instability, mental health issues, drug abuse, and the death/separation of parents could also undermine a child’s sense of safety. Multiple studies have associated ACEs with a heightened risk of early death due to excessive smoking, drug and alcohol intake, obesity, and hypertension.
The team gave each participant a CVH score/rating of poor, intermediate, or ideal, ranging between zero and seven. In the primary analysis, the team compared poor and intermediate CVH scores to ideal scores . Nearly 51% of adult survey respondents were females, and based on age, 35.6%, 37.7%, and 21.2% of these adults were 18 to 44, 45 to 64, and 65 to 79 years old, respectively. The authors noted wide variation in the components of ACEs, with 19.3% of participants reporting four or more ACEs.

The study found that DNA methylation has a profound impact on gene and protein co-expression networks associated with AD and could lead to the discovery of new neuropathological processes and molecular mechanisms for developing novel treatments for the disease.
