An ACE score is the total of 10 different types of abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction. The ACE quiz is by no means exhaustive, with the glaring absence of death and loss.
However, it does correlate early distressing events from childhood to chronic adult illness like an autoimmune disease.
According to the Adverse Childhood Experiences study, the tougher your childhood, the higher your score is likely to be, and the higher your risk for later chronic disease and even a shortened life-span.

You Have Your ACE Score. What Next?
First of all, the ACE score is meant to be helpful, not to freak you out.
Secondly, early childhood distress is one of several pieces to your health puzzle. It snaps in as a corner piece and joins your genetics, toxic exposure, and leaky gut. Your ACE score does not set your future in stone, any more than your DNA does.
