More and more, we’re learning that children’s lifestyles, habits, and experiences can affect their health as grown-ups. First was the study that found lower levels of cardiovascular disease in adults who’d had exposure to some common bacteria as kids. Now, researchers at King’s College of London found that childhood stress can lead to adult disease.
The study followed more than 1,000 kids through the first ten years of life and compared rates of socioeconomic disadvantage, maltreatment, and social isolation (all causes of major stress for a person of any age) with rates of depression, elevated inflammation, and metabolic risk factors when participants reached thirty-two years old. The outcome: The more adverse situations a child experienced, the greater his risk for developing disease in this thirties.
