Abstract

Findings underscore the importance of cumulative ELA as a correlate of adult cardiometabolic health, while also highlighting emerging evidence for differential effects of cumulative adversity compared with threat and deprivation. Results highlight the potential value of comprehensive adversity assessment for identifying at-risk populations and for guiding mechanistic and preventive research.
