AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are linked to subjective cognitive decline (SCD) in adults in the US.
- Data from nearly 83,000 adults (aged 45 and older) were analyzed, revealing a significant correlation between various types of ACEs and reported SCD.
- The findings suggest that higher ACE scores increase the likelihood of cognitive decline, indicating the need for interventions to support cognitive health in those affected by ACEs.
Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and subjective cognitive decline (SCD) among a representative sample of the adult US population.
Methods: Data were obtained from the 2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System ( = 82,688, ≥45 years). Adverse childhood experiences included sexual, physical/psychological and environmental ACEs, and a score. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the association between ACEs and SCD, and SCD-related outcomes.
Results: Sexual (adjusted OR (aOR: 2.83; 95% CI: 2.42-3.31)), physical/psychological (aOR: 2.05; 95% CI: 1.83-2.29), and environmental (aOR: 1.94; 95% CI: 1.74-2.16) ACEs were associated with SCD in the past year. There was also a dose-response relationship between ACE score and SCD.
Conclusion: ACEs were associated with SCD. Interventions to maximize cognitive health in aging and prevent future cognitive impairment should consider the potential role of ACEs among affected populations.
