Via performing longitudinal survey of adults, researchers investigated how coexistence of adverse childhood experiences and reduced renal function (an estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 milliliter/minute/1.73 m 2) affects all-cause mortality in a sample of U.S. adults. They analyzed data from a total of 1,205 adults participating in the Midlife Development in the United States series between 1995 and 2014. The data set yielded information concerning a total of 6 types of adverse childhood experiences, which were collated to create a dichotomous variable with any adverse experience counted as yes. Findings revealed correlation of coexistence of adverse childhood experiences and decreased renal function with higher all-cause mortality than noted in individuals with neither adverse childhood experiences nor decreased renal function and possibly than observed in individuals with reduced renal function alone.
