The mediating role of frequent mental distress in the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and cognitive disability in emerging adults.

ABSTRACT: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) may have an impact on cognitive disability through multiple pathways. Frequent Mental Distress (FMD) could result in cognitive disability through different aspects, but the potential mediating role of FMD in the associations remained unclear. So we aimed to investigate not only the association between self-reported ACEs and cognitive disability, but also the mediating effect of FMD between ACEs and cognitive disability. A cross-sectional analysis of respondents aged 18-25 years old in the 2020 and 2021 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) was performed. Weighted multivariate logistic regression models were used to assess the association of ACEs with FMD and cognitive disability. Mediation effects were used to investigate FMD as mediation b
