This study examines the associations of ACEs with functional impairment and life stress among military personnel, a population disproportionately affected by ACEs.

Mental disorders were assessed in wave 1 (LS1; 2016\u20132018), and functional impairment and life stress were evaluated in wave 2 (LS2; 2018\u20132019) of STARRS-LS.

Additionally, ACEs exhibited significant direct effects on emotional health-related impairment, financial stress, and overall life stress, implying ACEs are also associated with these longer-term outcomes via alternative pathways.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S0033291725101189_sec4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n\t    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>This study indicates ACEs are linked to functional impairment and life stress among military personnel in part because of associated risks of mental disorders, particularly internalizing disorders.
