Adverse Childhood Experiences, Neurocognitive Functions, and Long-Term Mortality Risk
This large US cohort study found that most childhood neurocognitive functions were associated with lower risk of premature mortality through middle adulthood, although the associations of some neurocognitive functions were diminished in the context of exposure to complex patterns of adversity. Thus, developing strong neurocognitive skills may foster long-term health resilience.
