Comment article in The Lancet highlights research showing childhood adversity can be fatal for young adultsA key challenge for ICHR researchers is to improve understanding of the long term health effects of family adversity, interpersonal violence and other problems that occur during pregnancy and childhood. Our research in Vietnam and collaborations with international partners is producing evidence to assist design of community-based programs to reduce the impact of family adversity.
Recently, ICHR co-Director Professor Michael Dunne was invited by The Lancet to provide expert commentary on a major study from Denmark. Naja Hulveg Rod et al (2020) studied the whole population of 1.1 million children born in Denmark over nearly 20 years. Young men and women between the ages of 16 and 34 years were 4.5 times more likely to die if they’d had multiple childhood problems, especially persistent poverty, loss or threat of loss of parents (due to death or illness), or other serious difficulties. The main causes of excess death were accidents, cancer and suicide.
In their Comment, ICHR’s Professor Dunne and a colleague from University of Edinburgh, Dr Franziska Meinck, emphasized that the Danish study is the first with a whole national population of children who were followed over time to explore effects of early life adversity on mortality. In Europe, Vietnam and all countries, the risk of death during late adolescence and early adult years is generally low. However, this Danish study shows a big increase in mortality among people who had multiple problems throughout childhood. It is remarkable that such an effect is found in Denmark because that country has extensive social services for vulnerable families. The impact of early life adversity on mortality might be even more severe in countries with less advanced social safety nets.
