Each respondent was classified according to how many ACEs they reported living through as a child: zero, one, two, three, four or more.
For example, those who had reported four or more ACEs were 44 percent more likely to be depressed and 24 percent more likely to be heavy drinkers . They had a twice the chances of being overweight or obese, and were 27 percent more likely to have developed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a lung condition that disrupts airflow.
that the CDC study was intriguing because it looked at factors such as"extreme poverty, experiences of discrimination, exposure to community violence [and] being placed in foster care," phenomena some previous studies on ACEs have neglected to consider. In general, data correlation does not imply that one factor causes the other. However, in this case, the CDC is confident that ACEs do indeed influence the development of these conditions, and that by preventing ACEs, the U.S. could have avoided up to 21 million cases of depression,1.9 million cases of heart disease and 2.5 million cases of overweight and obesity in 2017 alone, according to the CDC.
