Progress in the Study of the Association between Adverse Childhood Experiences and the Prevalence of Hypertension in Adulthood
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are traumatic events or situations that individuals may experience during their childhood. Children living with prolonged and persistent adverse experiences may have lifelong effects on their physical and mental health. Most studies in Europe and the United States confirm that ACEs increase the risk of hypertension in adulthood. However,the association between different types of ACEs and hypertension in adulthood remains controversial. This study provides a comprehensive review of studies on the association between different types of ACEs and hypertension,which explores the effects of ACEs on hypertension in adulthood and potential mechanisms. This study also summarizes the current status of studies on ACEs and hypertension. It presents a prospective view of providing a basis for improving the early childhood developmental environment and preventing hypertension in adulthood.
