Abstract | This brief describes the working paper, "Connecting the Brain to the Rest of the Body: Early Childhood Development and Lifelong Health Are Deeply Intertwined." The working paper examines examines how developing biological systems in the body interact with each other and adapt to the contexts in which a child is developing--for better or for worse--with lifelong consequences for physical and mental health. It explains how these systems are affected by adversity early in life, and shows how those adaptations can result in costly, common chronic illnesses. The paper encourages to think beyond early learning in policy and practice. It explores how policymakers, leaders of human services systems, intervention developers, and practitioners can also reduce disparities in preventable diseases and premature deaths and lower the high costs of health care for chronic illnesses that have their origins in early childhood adversity.
