Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as maltreatment and household dysfunction, are positively linked to substance use disorders (SUD), weight loss efforts, maladaptive eating behaviors, including ultra-processed food addiction (UPFA) disorder (ED) symptoms. However, the differential association of ACEs with UPFA by lifetime SUD history EDs suppression— discrepancy between an individual’s highest current weight/BMI in adulthood— have not been examined. Using logistic regression marginal effects analysis, this cross-sectional study aimed assess (1) cumulative a risk factor for screening positive EDs, (2) moderator ACE-UPFA relationship, (3) suppression ACE-ED relationship. Among 287 adults presenting private practice offering nutrition counseling recovery, presence 4 or more (compared <4 ACEs) significantly increased odds UPFA-positive screens (OR=1.99; CI=1.19-3.35; p=0.01) but ED-positive (OR=1.36; CI=0.80-2.30, p=0.25). Additionally, interaction was significant outcome (p<0.01). Those self-reported exhibited probability ACEs. Meanwhile, remained unchanged among those who did report history. Cumulative predict screens, ACE-weight meet threshold significance. Overall findings underscore cross-vulnerability addictive behaviors potential importance integrating interventions treatment
