Childhood Residential Mobility and Multiple Health Risks During Adolescence and Adulthood

Abstract: Adverse childhood experiences are strongly associated with frequent residential mobility. Moreover, the apparent relationship between childhood mobility and various health risks is largely explained by ACEs. Thus, previous studies showing a relationship between residential mobility and negative outcomes were likely confounded by unmeasured ACEs.

“…20 For example, authors of a previous observational study found a twofold increased risk of depressed mood and a 2.5-fold increased risk of suicide attempts among adults who reported high residential mobility (>7 moves) during childhood, which was attenuated after statistically controlling for ACE scores. 21 The increased odds of suicidality among homeless youth in our study is similar in magnitude to that in population-based samples of adults who experienced multiple ACEs (but not necessarily also homelessness). 22,23 Our study did not assess ACE scores because of limitations of the school-based measures used.…”

“…Pediatrics 2014;134:e1611-e1618 Adverse social conditions experienced in childhood contribute to an elevated burden of disease in affected children, spanning acute and chronic diseases such as injury, diabetes, asthma, infectious disease, and cardiovascular disease. [1][2][3][4] Exposures such as poverty and other financial stress, [5][6][7] food insecurity, [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] and poor housing quality and housing instability [15][16][17][18][19] have been linked with greater stress, socioemotional behavior problems, cognitive and academic deficits, and poor health status. The probability of poor health increases as the number of adverse exposures increases, 20,21 and risks extend to disease onset and premature mortality in adulthood.…”

“…11 In a longitudinal study, Gilman and colleagues found that moving three or more times before the age of 7 years was significantly associated with depression diagnosis by age 14. 12 Although prior research suggests that relocation and moving is associated with poor mental health problems including anxiety and schizophrenia, much of this research is based on population studies and has focused on moving as an infrequent stressful life event.…”
