Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) are associated with increased risk of smoking in children and adults, and have recently been associated with both prenatal smoking and next-generation child smoking. We assessed three exposure-outcome associations: (1) maternal ACE and prenatal smoking; (2) maternal ACE and early initiation of smoking in children; and (3) prenatal smoking and early initiation of smoking in children, modified by maternal ACE. We also tested these associations for effect modification by maternal race/ethnicity. Our study sample consisted of 4,775 mother-child dyads from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 and its partner study, the NLSY79 Children and Young Adults survey. We analyzed three ACE exposures (physical abuse, household alcohol abuse, and household mental illness), prenatal smoking status, and age of smoking initiation in their children.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) have recently been associated with high gestational weight gain (GWG), and high GWG has been associated with child obesity. We hypothesized that maternal ACE exposures are associated with offspring obesity, partially mediated by high GWG. Our study included 4,771 mother-child pairs from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1979-2012). We used log-linear regression models that accounted for the complex survey design to estimate the associations of three maternal ACE measures (physical abuse, mental illness in the household, and alcohol abuse in the household) with the outcomes: ever obese or ever overweight/ obese at ages 2-5 years, 6-11 years, or 12-19 years old. For significant associations, we then estimated the total direct effect by adding GWG (measured with z-scores standardized for gestational duration) to the adjusted regression model. Next, we estimated the natural direct effect by allowing GWG in the model to vary as it would in the absence of the exposure.
