This study investigated the association between ACEs and cardiometabolic risk (cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, hypertension and obesity) in adulthood.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We used data from the Survey on Health, Well-Being and Ageing (SABE)-Colombia (n=18\u2009044 adults aged &gt;65). Exposures were defined as single and cumulative ACEs score. Logistic regression, adjusted for demographics and socioeconomic position, was used to investigate associations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>41.3% reported at least one ACE and 4.2% reported four or more. Associations between individual ACEs and outcomes differed by gender. In women, exposure to all ACEs, except childhood migration, was associated with increased odds of CVD, for example, emotional abuse (OR=1.69 (95% CI 1.32 to 2.13)) and poor childhood health status (OR=1.64 (95% CI 1.39 to 1.91)). Among men, these associations were much weaker and often non-statistically significant, except childhood migration that showed increased odds of CVD (OR=1.55 (95% CI 1.09 to 2.15), diabetes (OR=1.55 (95% CI 1.11 to 2.14)) and hypertension (OR=1.40 (95% CI 1.07 to 1.83) in adulthood). A significant association was observed between cumulative ACEs score and odds of CVD, diabetes and hypertension in both men and women. This pattern was not observed for obesity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The long-term health consequences of ACEs differ by gender.
