{Abstract}: The population attributable fractions of health outcomes attributed to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) among Chinese middle school students is unknown. Of all the 22,868 middle school students, 29.8 % had exposure to four or more ACEs. Findings showed a graded relationship between ACE scores and those adverse outcomes. The PAFs of six outcomes attributed to experiencing ≥ 4 ACEs ranged from 23.1 % to 44.2 %. The results emphasized the significance of preventive interventions to alleviate the negative legacies of ACEs.
