Supplementary Material for: Association of adverse childhood experiences with later-life m

China-based data from 3,983 adults aged 60 and older from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). The dataset supports research on the association between adverse childhood experiences and motoric cognitive risk syndrome, with mediation analysis for depression and chronic pain. The supplementary material was uploaded by figshare admin karger in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling the dose-dependent relationship between ACEs and MCR based on the reported odds ratios.
• Investigating depression and chronic pain as mediating variables in the ACE-MCR pathway.
• Analyzing the prevalence of specific ACEs like emotional neglect and physical abuse within an older Chinese population.

Strengths

• Includes 3,983 participant records with a median age of 66 years.
• Reports specific prevalence rates: 12.9% for MCR, 40.1% for emotional neglect, and 30.7% for physical abuse.
• Provides quantified mediation effects: depression mediated 14.3% and chronic pain mediated 21.4% of the total effect.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and demographic bias inherent to the CHARLS study sample.
