Research shows that the adversity we experience as a child can affect how our stress response functions, leading to long-term changes in our brains and bodies and leading to health problems as an adult.
• There is a dose response relationship between ACEs and the development of poor physical, mental and behavioural health.
• In the UK nearly 50% of people have experienced at least one ACE, with 9%-12% experiencing 4 or more ACEs.
• Experiencing 4 or more ACEs is associated with significantly increased risk for: heart disease, stroke, cancer, COPD, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and suicide.
