Association of adverse childhood experiences with health service use and catastrophic health expenditures in China: evidence from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study
ACE has the capacity to predict CHE, and the findings of this study reinforce the potential pathway through which ACE may exert its influence on CHE via the burden of chronic diseases. Measures should be implemented to prevent ACEs and mitigate the risk of chronic diseases to lessen the economic burden on individuals and families as well as the adverse impact of national financial risk.
