Childhood neglect is linked to troubling health outcomes, but two factors can dramatically change this trajectory, study suggests

Summary

Nutrition label

78% Informative

New research published in Child Abuse & Neglect has found that childhood neglect increases the likelihood of various adverse health outcomes in adulthood.

Having a heightened socioeconomic status and the presence of a protective adult during childhood substantially weaken this association.

Adults who experienced neglect were also more likely to engage in harmful health behaviors, such as smoking and physical activity.

The study underscores the profound impact of childhood neglect on long-term health outcomes.

It highlights the role of socioeconomic status and supportive relationships in mitigating these effects.

Health of those who were neglected and emotionally abused would be worse if they were neglected due to household poverty, but were in a warm and loving home environment.
