Logistic regression models estimating associations between number of ACEs and adult CVD outcomes (elevated cholesterol, stroke, hypertension)*

	Adult CVD outcomes (n = 545)
	Self-reported history of elevated cholesterol	Self-reported history of stroke	Self-reported history of hypertension
	Adjusted OR (95% CI)	Adjusted OR (95% CI)	Adjusted OR (95% CI)

ACEs – adverse childhood experiences, CI – confidence interval, CVD – cardiovascular disease, OR – odds ratio

*Note: Each column represents the estimated regression coefficients from a single multivariable logistic regression model specifying the column header variable as the outcome and the row variables as the covariates. ‘Total No. ACEs’ represents the total number of adverse childhood experiences out of a maximum of 16. ‘Assets’ indicates the asset index score derived from a principal components analysis applied to an asset inventory of 19 total different household assets and household characteristics.
