Plant-based dietary intake moderates adverse childhood experiences associated with early mortality in an older adventist cohort

ACEs: Those with high plant based intake lived 4.6-6.3 years longer.

A study published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research indicates plant-based dietary intake moderates adverse childhood experiences associated with early mortality. Other highlights include:

  • Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) predict early mortality.

  • Plant-based dietary intake moderates the ACEs and early mortality relationship.

  • After 4+ ACEs, those with high vs. low plant-based intake lived 4.6–6.3 years longer.

  • ACEs and diet predict mortality after controlling for mental and physical health.
