Abstract
This longitudinal study (n=23,972) from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) investigated the relationship between obesity, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. Individuals with obesity showed a higher likelihood of increased overall stressors, but ACEs did not modify this association. ACEs were independently linked to increased stress and negative pandemic perceptions. The study concludes that increased stress during the pandemic's first year was observed in individuals with obesity or ACEs, highlighting the need for further research on long-term outcomes.
