ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the distribution characteristics between attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) and obesity.Methods Two hundred and thirty-nine children diagnosed as ADHD meeting the ADHD criteria of DSM-Ⅳ and 137 healthy children were enrolled in ADHD group and healthy control group,respectively.Anthropometric measurement and nutritional assessment were performed for the 2 groups.The incidences of overweight and obesity among each group were compared.Results There was significant difference in the incidence of overweight +obesity between ADHD group and healthy control group [98 cases (41.0%) vs 39 cases (28.5%)] ; No significant difference in the incidence of overweight was observed between ADHD group and healthy control group [41 cases (17.2%) vs 22 cases (16.1%),P > 0.05].The incidence of ADHD in overweight + obesity group was significantly higher than that in healthy control group.The incidence of obesity in ADHD group was significantly higher than that in healthy control group[57 cases(23.8%) vs 17 cases(12.4%),P < 0.01].The incidence of overweight + obesity in the subtype Ⅰ and subtypeⅢ was significantly higher than healthy control group ;There was no significant difference in the incidence of overweight + obesity between the subtype Ⅱ group and healthy control group.There was no significant difference in the incidence of overweight + obesity among each subtype group of the ADHD(P > 0.05).The incidence of ADHD in the overweight + obesity group was significanthy than that in normal weight group(P <0.05).Conclusion Obesity is a risk factor of ADHD,and their pathogenesis may be overlapping.
