Association of adverse childhood experiences with diabetes in adulthood: results of a cross-sectional epidemiological survey in Singapore.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Several studies have linked diabetes mellitus to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). While a number of studies have examined the association between ACEs and diabetes in Western populations, few have done it in Asian populations. The current study aimed to examine (1) the association between ACEs and diabetes, including the association after age stratification, and (2) the association of comorbid depression, resource use and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among those with diabetes and ACEs in Singapore.

Settings

Participants were surveyed in their homes or any other preferred venue of their choice.

Participants

6126 individuals aged 18 years and above were randomly selected among Singapore residents.
