Introduction:

• Paste quoted text from the Introduction of the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks:

It is both biologically and clinically plausible for the involvement of ACEs in mental health disorder. Experimental evidence exists for the relationship of ACEs with alterations in brain structures, poor neurodevelopmental functions, and dysregulation of neuroendocrine immune circuitry across various brain regions (including hippocampal, limbic, and prefrontal areas), as well as dysregulation of chronic hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and chronic inflammation, which can lead to inefficient memory, executive functions, and emotional disorders eventually

• Write your translation on the next line:

Results:

• Paste quoted text from the Results section in the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks:

Table 1 shows the baseline characteristics of study participants by mental health disorder recorded in 2018. Of 10,961 assessable participants, 3652 (33.32 %) were reported to have mental health disorder.

• Write your translation on the next line:

There are 13,652 out of 0,961 participants who have a mental health disorder.

Discussion:

• Paste quoted text from the Discussion section of the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks:

Our findings reinforced previous findings that identified childhood as a crucial time window in establishing the basis of good mental health. Reducing ACEs exposure may be a promising step to prevent mental health disorder among middle-aged and elderly adults.

• Write your translation on the next line:

In conclusion, childhood plays an important role in promoting positive mental health. Preventing difficult childhood experiences could enhance positive well-being among older people.

Future Directions:

• What future research should follow up on this work?

The research should conduct more discussions with a small group of people to explore the specific opinions or the situation.  By doing so, the researchers could have a better perspective on ACES and mental health disorders.
