The first was,

was that ACEs were incredibly common.

Two-thirds of people had experienced at least one ACE.

Right?

One in eight folks had experienced four or more.

Four or more of those?

Yes.

In fact, the CDC just updated this research.

Now, nationally, it's one in six individuals have experienced four or more of these traditional ACEs.

But the second thing that they found was that there was a dose-response relationship between these ACEs

and health problems, right?

So a person with four more ACEs was four and a half times as likely to experience depression, was seven times as likely to experience alcohol dependence, was 10 times as likely to be dependent on opiates,

but they were also two and a half times as likely to develop heart disease.

Almost three times as likely to develop chronic lung disease.

And at first people thought, oh, okay, you have a rough childhood.

You're more likely to drink and smoke and do all these things that affect your health.

That's what it is.

But it turns out that some very smart researchers actually looked at what happens when you remove the impact of health-damaging behaviors.

And that was only about 50% of the risk.

So the good news is that if you've experienced these ACEs and you don't engage in any health-damaging behavior, you're not sedentary, you eat really healthy, you exercise regularly, that removes about 50% of the risk.
