The chart shows the consequences of a score of 4 or more.
From this score, 1. The likelihood of chronic pulmonary lung disease increases by 390%; 2. Hepatitis, 240 %; 3. Depression, 460 %; and 4. Attempted suicide, 1,220 %.
However, there are still some severe consequences of a lower score. A quarter of Americans have an ACE score of only one, and their chance of becoming an alcoholic doubled. An ACE score of two means four times the risk of alcoholism, and an ACE score of 3 may explain your chronic depression.
Understanding your childhood means being able to understand your possible risks and being able to prevent the potential consequences.
