ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To analyze the contributing factors of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and the correlation between bone mineral density and physical growth, in order to provide new clues for the prevention and early intervention of ADHD. 【Methods】 A total of 116 children with ADHD were included into the observation group from June 2020 to June 2022, while another 80 healthy children in the same period were included as the control group.Clinical data of the two groups were compared, and the factors influencing ADHD in children were analyzed using multivariate Logistic regression. Children with ADHD were further divided into boys group and girls group based on gender. Bone mineral density (BMD) and physical growth (height and body weight) of the two groups were measured, and the correlation between the two was analyzed. 【Results】 In the observation group, the proportion of boys, maternal bad behaviors during pregnancy, their educational level below high school, critical parenting, and parental stress index were significantly higher compared to the control group (χ2=14.430, 5.689, 5.630, 6.738, t=6.936, P<0.05). Additionally, family environment score was significantly lower than that in the control group (t=6.328, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that factors including boys (OR=3.298, 95%CI: 1.759 - 6.184), maternal bad behaviors during pregnancy (OR=2.730, 95%CI: 1.169 - 6.375), maternal education level of senior high school or below (OR=2.032, 95%CI: 1.127 - 3.663), critical parenting (OR=2.349, 95%CI: 1.223 - 4.513), and parental stress index (OR=1.089, 95%CI: 1.055 - 1.124) were positively correlated with ADHD in children (P<0.05), while family environment score was negatively related to ADHD (OR=0.868, 95%CI: 0.820 - 0.919, P<0.05). There were no significant differences in BMD, height and body weight between boys and girls in ADHD group (P>0.05). Pearson correlation analysis indicated a positive correlation of BMD with height and body weight (r=0.409, 0.317, P<0.05). 【Conclusions】 The development of ADHD in children is associated with gender, maternal bad behavior during pregnancy, family parental style and so on. Bone mineral density is closely related to physical growth in children with ADHD, clinical interventions can be implemented to prevent or early intervene ADHD.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the occurrence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) in children aged 3-12 and analyze the related factors of family environment leading to ADHD.Methods:A total of 580 children from June 2020 to December 2021 were selected from the pediatric outpatient clinic of the Children's Hospital of Kunming.According to the diagnostic criteria for children with ADHD in DSM-5, all the subjects were divided into ADHD group ( n=37) and non-ADHD group( n=543). The general data questionnaire and family assessment device (FAD) were used to investigate the relevant data of children.SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis, and t test, Mann-Whitney U test were used for inter group comparison, and binary Logistic regression model was used to analyze the related factors of family environment of ADHD in children aged 3-12 years. Results:Among 580 children aged 3-12 in pediatric clinic, 37 cases were diagnosed ADHD, accounting for 6.38%.Compared with the non-ADHD group, the breast-feeding time of children in the ADHD group was shorter, the education level of primary caregivers was lower(5.00(2.50, 6.00)months, 9.00(7.00, 11.00)months)( U=7.751), the proportions of families with single parent/reconstituted and parents with criticism and reprimand as the main educational method were higher, and the FAD score((172.35±4.27), (116.29±5.58), t=6.478) was higher (all P<0.05). The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that longer breast-feeding time ( β=-0.561, P<0.001, OR=0.571, 95% CI=0.480~0.678) was the protective factor of ADHD in children aged 3-12 years.Primary and junior high schools as the education level of main caregivers, criticism and reprimand as the main education methods of parents, and poor family function (high FA score) were the related risk factors of family environment of ADHD in children aged 3-12 years. Conclusion:Family environment factors, such as short breast-feeding time, low education level of main caregivers, criticism and reprimand of parents, poor family function, can increase the incidence risk of ADHD in children aged 3-12 years.
