Traumatic childhood experiences contribute to major health problems -- including heart and respiratory disease, cancer, diabetes, and suicide -- later on in life, the CDC warns.
"We now know that adverse childhood experiences have a significant impact on an individual's future health," CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield said in an agency news release.
"Preventing traumatic experiences in childhood and initiating key interventions when they do occur will lessen long-term health consequences, and benefit the physical and emotional well-being of individuals into adulthood," Redfield said. The CDC has several efforts to prevent childhood trauma and reduce the harmful effects of such experiences.
