Study: fading memories make childhood trauma research a challenge in adults

A new study from the University of Iowa finds that the limitations of human memory make it difficult for researchers to link adverse childhood experiences to physical health issues later in life.
The researchers found that so many people either forget what happened to them in childhood or don’t remember it clearly enough that asking adults about their experiences as children may introduce biases.
The study asked 454 African-Americans about adverse childhood experiences such as physical abuse, divorce, crime, and neighborhood violence. Researchers asked the respondents first when they were 10 years old and again when they were in their 30s.

Are you going through the “cardiovascular change”?
Menopause is a time of distress due to the symptoms it brings. But few realize how much a woman’s risk for heart disease increases during this change. That’s because menopause isn’t just “the change” that marks the end of your menstrual cycle. It’s the time of life that also signals a change in cardiovascular health.
That change is probably a big part of the reason why heart disease is the number one killer of women and researchers are finally putting two and two together…
“Over the past 20 years, our knowledge of how the menopause transition might contribute to cardiovascular disease has been dramatically evolving,” said Samar R. El Khoudary, Ph.D., M.P.H., FAHA, chair of the statement writing committee and associate professor of epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Public Health and the Clinical and Translational Science Institute. “We have accumulat
