Childhood trauma can increase the risk of major diseases later in life, with variations based on individual experiences and sex, according to new research. The study found that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) disrupt metabolic, neurologic, endocrine, and immune systems. The research shows that the biological impact of stressors is generally larger for females, while emotional abuse and neglect have more significant health impacts on males.
