Key Points

The study aims to explore how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) relate to physical activity levels in middle-aged and older adults.
National analysis of physical activity participation
Comparison of different areas of physical activity
Focus on middle-aged and elderly populations
ACEs are linked to lower participation in physical activity among middle-aged and elderly individuals
Different areas of physical activity show varied associations with ACEs
Targeted strategies for those with ACEs are recommended to enhance activity levels

Abstract

ACEs have different associations with participation in different areas of physical activity in middle-aged and elderly people. When promoting participation in physical activity, more attention should be paid to middle-aged and elderly people with ACEs.
