Exposure to adverse childhood experiences decreases the chances of achieving healthy weight in overweight youth by 27%.
In a sample of 2210 overweight youth, 46% reached a healthy weight by age 18, with varying rates by obesity status.
Structural equation modeling revealed that behavioural difficulties and self-concept mediate the relationship between ACEs and weight outcomes.
Children facing ACEs showed significantly higher BMI Z scores at ages 9 and 13, indicating a persistent risk for obesity.
