ABSTRACT

Abstract@#The impact of parental adverse childhood experiences on offspring health has become a heated issue after evaluating the role of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in individual s physical and mental health. The current study reviews the impact of parental ACEs on childrens health from the perspective of intergenerational effects, and explores their potential psychosocial and biological mechanisms. Future research topics are proposed and early interventions are encouraged to interrupt the intergenerational cycle of victimization and health problems.
