Description
Jin Xu, Guangxue Han, and Xiulian Xu followed older Chinese adults for ten years to see how childhood hardship shapes later mood. Hard early years are known to raise depression risk, but mood paths over a decade vary. The team used national survey data from 17,106 people aged forty-five and up.
They found five distinct mood paths, from steady wellness to persistent symptoms. More childhood adversity meant higher odds of landing on every worse path. The dose pattern held across groups. The authors argue that shielding children today is also mental health policy for the old age of tomorrow.
