Early-life determinants of cardiometabolic outcomes and accelerated biological ageing in Colombia.
Article in Aging, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAdverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are critical early-life determinants of long-term health, yet their association with biological ageing and cardiometabolic risk remains poorly understood. We examined the association between ACEs, cardiometabolic outcomes and age acceleration among older adults in Colombia.
methodsData were drawn from 3,385 adults aged ≥60 years (1,726 women, 1,659 men) from the nationally representative Health, Well-Being, and Ageing Study (SABE-Colombia). Five ACEs before 15 years old were assessed: emotional abuse, domestic violence, poor self-reported health, scarcity of food, and forced childhood migration due to armed conflict. Biological ageing was estimated using Klemera-Doubal Method for Biological Age (∆KDMAge). Associations between ACEs and cardiometabolic outcomes (cardiovascular disease [CVD], diabetes, hypertension, and obesity) were evaluated using logistic and Poisson regression models; and associations with biological ageing using linear regression models, adjusting for sociodemographic factors.
resultsAmong women, emotional abuse (OR=1.68), domestic violence (OR=1.55), scarcity of food (OR=1.44), and poor health status (OR=1.66) were associated with increased odds of CVD (OR=1.68). Among men, forced childhood migration was associated with higher risks of diabetes (OR=1.60), CVD (OR=1.55), and hypertension (OR=1.43). Forced childhood migration was also associated with age acceleration (∆KDMAge β =1.52), with a stronger association in women (∆KDMAge β =2.67). Dose-response associations were observed between cumulative ACEs and CVD in women and hypertension in men.
conclusionsEarly-life adversity, particularly forced childhood migration, is associated with higher cardiometabolic risk and accelerated biological ageing in later life, emphasizing the long-term biological costs of social and political instability.
