Data from 18,044 adults aged >65 in the SABE-Colombia survey was analyzed.
Logistic regression was used to assess associations while adjusting for demographics and socioeconomic position.
Both individual and cumulative adverse childhood experiences scores were evaluated for connections to health outcomes.
41.3% of participants reported at least one adverse childhood experience.
Women showed significant associations between several ACEs and higher odds of cardiovascular disease compared to men.
Cumulative ACEs scores were linked to increased odds of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and hypertension in both genders.
