Preventing ACEs could reduce a large number of health conditions:

  • UP TO 21 MILLION CASES OF DEPRESSION
  • UP TO 1.9 MILLION CASES OF HEART DISEASE
  • UP TO 2.5 MILLION CASES OF OVERWEIGHT/OBESITY

Data Visualization: Potential reduction of negative outcomes in adulthood

The graphic shows three tables on the potential reduction of negative outcomes in adulthood. The first table shows health conditions that could be reduced by the following amounts with adverse childhood experiences prevention: depressive disorder (44 percent), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (27 percent), Asthma (24 percent), Kidney Disease (16 percent), Stroke (15 percent), Coronary Heart Disease (13 percent), Cancer (6 percent), Diabetes (6 percent), and Overweight/Obesity (2 percent). The second table shows health risk behaviors. The potential reduction of negative outcomes in adulthood for current smoking is 33 percent and heavy drinking is 24 percent. The third table shows socioeconomic challenges. The potential reduction of negative outcomes in adulthood for unemployment is 15 percent, earning less than a high school education is 5 percent, and not having health insurance is 4 percent.
