Life history theory argues that exposure to early life adversity (ELA) accelerates
development, although existing evidence for this varies. We present a meta-analysis and …

Background Recent conceptual models argue that early life adversity (ELA) accelerates
development, which may contribute to poor mental and physical health outcomes. Evidence …

Background Given associations linking early life adversity, pubertal timing, and biological
aging, we examined the direct and indirect effects of early life trauma on adult biological …

Most developmental work regards adverse developmental experiences as forces that
undermine well-being. Here, I present an alternative—or complementary—view …

Objectives To determine whether there is a relationship between early life adversity (ELA)
and biological parameters known to predict health risks and to examine the extent to which …

Early life adversities (ELAs) are associated with an increased risk of psychopathology, with
studies suggesting a relation to structural brain alterations. Given the recently growing …

Research examining the association between exposure to a wide range of adverse
childhood experiences (ACEs) and accelerated biological aging in older adults is limited …

Early life stress (ELS) may accelerate frontoamygdala development related to
socioemotional processing, serving as a potential source of resilience. Whether this circuit is …

Emerging evidence suggests that partially distinct mechanisms may underlie the association
between different dimensions of early life adversity (ELA) and psychopathology in children …

Early-life adversity (ELA) exposure (eg, trauma, abuse, neglect, or institutional care) is a
precursor to poor physical and mental health outcomes and is implicated in 30% of adult …
