Pediatrics 2004 Aug114(2)492 Werner EE Journeys from childhood to
midlife risk resilience and recovery
1) What are the long-term effects of adverse perinatal and early child-rearing conditions on individualsrsquo physical cognitive and psychosocial development at midlife
2) Which protective factors allow most individuals who are exposed to multiple childhood risk factors to make a successful adaptation in adulthood
The KLS has monitored the impact of a wide array of biological psychological and social risk factors
Multiracial cohort of 698 individuals who were born in 1955 on the Hawaiian island of Kauai
From the perinatal period to ages 1 2 10 18 3132 and 40 The follow-up at midlife was able to track 80 of the high-risk children
who had been exposed to chronic poverty birth complications parental psychopathology and family discord
as well as comparison groups of men and women who had not experienced significant childhood adversities
KLS
ldquoWith the exception of serious central nervous system damage the impact of peri-natal complications on adult adaptation diminished with time whereas the outcomes of biological risk conditions depended increasingly on the 1)quality of the child-rearing environment and 2) the emotional support provided by family
members friends teachers and adult mentorsrdquo
Poorest outcomes at age 40 were associated with prolonged exposure to parental alcoholism andor mental illnessmdashespecially for the men
KLS
Quality of the individualrsquos adaptation at age 40 correlated significantly with
Health status in the first decade of life (based on a pediatric assessment of all organ systems at age 2 and number of health problems including serious illnesses and accidents between birth and age 10)
The motherrsquos caregiving competence and the emotional support provided by the family in childhood
This study demonstrates the need for early attention to the health status of our nationrsquos childrenmdashespecially those who are exposed to poverty serious perinatal complications and parental psychopathology
The social policy implications are clear early access to good preventive and ameliorative health services and proper attention to the quality of early child care can pay ample dividends in an improved quality of life in adulthood

midlife risk resilience and recovery
1) What are the long-term effects of adverse perinatal and early child-rearing conditions on individualsrsquo physical cognitive and psychosocial development at midlife
2) Which protective factors allow most individuals who are exposed to multiple childhood risk factors to make a successful adaptation in adulthood
The KLS has monitored the impact of a wide array of biological psychological and social risk factors
Multiracial cohort of 698 individuals who were born in 1955 on the Hawaiian island of Kauai
From the perinatal period to ages 1 2 10 18 3132 and 40 The follow-up at midlife was able to track 80 of the high-risk children
who had been exposed to chronic poverty birth complications parental psychopathology and family discord
as well as comparison groups of men and women who had not experienced significant childhood adversities
KLS
ldquoWith the exception of serious central nervous system damage the impact of peri-natal complications on adult adaptation diminished with time whereas the outcomes of biological risk conditions depended increasingly on the 1)quality of the child-rearing environment and 2) the emotional support provided by family
members friends teachers and adult mentorsrdquo
Poorest outcomes at age 40 were associated with prolonged exposure to parental alcoholism andor mental illnessmdashespecially for the men
KLS
Quality of the individualrsquos adaptation at age 40 correlated significantly with
Health status in the first decade of life (based on a pediatric assessment of all organ systems at age 2 and number of health problems including serious illnesses and accidents between birth and age 10)
The motherrsquos caregiving competence and the emotional support provided by the family in childhood
This study demonstrates the need for early attention to the health status of our nationrsquos childrenmdashespecially those who are exposed to poverty serious perinatal complications and parental psychopathology
The social policy implications are clear early access to good preventive and ameliorative health services and proper attention to the quality of early child care can pay ample dividends in an improved quality of life in adulthood

2) Which protective factors allow most individuals who are exposed to multiple childhood risk factors to make a successful adaptation in adulthood
The KLS has monitored the impact of a wide array of biological psychological and social risk factors
Multiracial cohort of 698 individuals who were born in 1955 on the Hawaiian island of Kauai
From the perinatal period to ages 1 2 10 18 3132 and 40 The follow-up at midlife was able to track 80 of the high-risk children
who had been exposed to chronic poverty birth complications parental psychopathology and family discord
as well as comparison groups of men and women who had not experienced significant childhood adversities
KLS
ldquoWith the exception of serious central nervous system damage the impact of peri-natal complications on adult adaptation diminished with time whereas the outcomes of biological risk conditions depended increasingly on the 1)quality of the child-rearing environment and 2) the emotional support provided by family
members friends teachers and adult mentorsrdquo
Poorest outcomes at age 40 were associated with prolonged exposure to parental alcoholism andor mental illnessmdashespecially for the men
KLS
Quality of the individualrsquos adaptation at age 40 correlated significantly with
Health status in the first decade of life (based on a pediatric assessment of all organ systems at age 2 and number of health problems including serious illnesses and accidents between birth and age 10)
The motherrsquos caregiving competence and the emotional support provided by the family in childhood
This study demonstrates the need for early attention to the health status of our nationrsquos childrenmdashespecially those who are exposed to poverty serious perinatal complications and parental psychopathology
The social policy implications are clear early access to good preventive and ameliorative health services and proper attention to the quality of early child care can pay ample dividends in an improved quality of life in adulthood

1) What are the long-term effects of adverse perinatal and early child-rearing conditions on individualsrsquo physical cognitive and psychosocial development at midlife
2) Which protective factors allow most individuals who are exposed to multiple childhood risk factors to make a successful adaptation in adulthood
The KLS has monitored the impact of a wide array of biological psychological and social risk factors
Multiracial cohort of 698 individuals who were born in 1955 on the Hawaiian island of Kauai
From the perinatal period to ages 1 2 10 18 3132 and 40 The follow-up at midlife was able to track 80 of the high-risk children
who had been exposed to chronic poverty birth complications parental psychopathology and family discord
as well as comparison groups of men and women who had not experienced significant childhood adversities
KLS
ldquoWith the exception of serious central nervous system damage the impact of peri-natal complications on adult adaptation diminished with time whereas the outcomes of biological risk conditions depended increasingly on the 1)quality of the child-rearing environment and 2) the emotional support provided by family
members friends teachers and adult mentorsrdquo
Poorest outcomes at age 40 were associated with prolonged exposure to parental alcoholism andor mental illnessmdashespecially for the men
KLS
Quality of the individualrsquos adaptation at age 40 correlated significantly with
Health status in the first decade of life (based on a pediatric assessment of all organ systems at age 2 and number of health problems including serious illnesses and accidents between birth and age 10)
The motherrsquos caregiving competence and the emotional support provided by the family in childhood
This study demonstrates the need for early attention to the health status of our nationrsquos childrenmdashespecially those who are exposed to poverty serious perinatal complications and parental psychopathology
The social policy implications are clear early access to good preventive and ameliorative health services and proper attention to the quality of early child care can pay ample dividends in an improved quality of life in adulthood

Multiracial cohort of 698 individuals who were born in 1955 on the Hawaiian island of Kauai
From the perinatal period to ages 1 2 10 18 3132 and 40 The follow-up at midlife was able to track 80 of the high-risk children
who had been exposed to chronic poverty birth complications parental psychopathology and family discord
as well as comparison groups of men and women who had not experienced significant childhood adversities
KLS
ldquoWith the exception of serious central nervous system damage the impact of peri-natal complications on adult adaptation diminished with time whereas the outcomes of biological risk conditions depended increasingly on the 1)quality of the child-rearing environment and 2) the emotional support provided by family
members friends teachers and adult mentorsrdquo
Poorest outcomes at age 40 were associated with prolonged exposure to parental alcoholism andor mental illnessmdashespecially for the men
KLS
Quality of the individualrsquos adaptation at age 40 correlated significantly with
Health status in the first decade of life (based on a pediatric assessment of all organ systems at age 2 and number of health problems including serious illnesses and accidents between birth and age 10)
The motherrsquos caregiving competence and the emotional support provided by the family in childhood
This study demonstrates the need for early attention to the health status of our nationrsquos childrenmdashespecially those who are exposed to poverty serious perinatal complications and parental psychopathology
The social policy implications are clear early access to good preventive and ameliorative health services and proper attention to the quality of early child care can pay ample dividends in an improved quality of life in adulthood

ldquoWith the exception of serious central nervous system damage the impact of peri-natal complications on adult adaptation diminished with time whereas the outcomes of biological risk conditions depended increasingly on the 1)quality of the child-rearing environment and 2) the emotional support provided by family
members friends teachers and adult mentorsrdquo
Poorest outcomes at age 40 were associated with prolonged exposure to parental alcoholism andor mental illnessmdashespecially for the men
KLS
Quality of the individualrsquos adaptation at age 40 correlated significantly with
Health status in the first decade of life (based on a pediatric assessment of all organ systems at age 2 and number of health problems including serious illnesses and accidents between birth and age 10)
The motherrsquos caregiving competence and the emotional support provided by the family in childhood
This study demonstrates the need for early attention to the health status of our nationrsquos childrenmdashespecially those who are exposed to poverty serious perinatal complications and parental psychopathology
The social policy implications are clear early access to good preventive and ameliorative health services and proper attention to the quality of early child care can pay ample dividends in an improved quality of life in adulthood
