Abstract

Objective To explore the correlation between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and behavioral lifestyle,so as to promote the health development of children . Method Totally 16 439 preschool children aged 3~6 years in 91 kindergartens in Maanshan were investigated in 2014.The behavioral lifestyle and sociodemographic characteristics of preschool children were collected through questionnaire survey.ADHD symptoms were assessed by the 10-item Chinese version of the Conners′ abbreviated symptom questionnaire (C-ASQ).A lifestyle index was formed from ten domains,including outdoor activities,TV viewing on weekday and weekend,play other electronic deviceson weekday and weekend,picky-eater,favorite flavor,sleep time,falling asleep on weekday and weekend.Pearson χ2 test and Logistic regression were used to analyze the data. Results The total score of the behavioral lifestyle index was 10,with mean score of 2.64±1.78.After adjusted for demographic information and outdoor exercise time,mealtimes,food types and naps,the average autonomous group (scored 2~3)(OR=1.78,95%CI:1.50~2.12) and high autonomous group(≥4 scores) (OR=2.82,95%CI:2.37~3.35) of behavioral lifestyle index were risk factors of ADHD symptoms. Conclusions The occurrence of ADHD symptoms is related to the daily behavioral lifestyle.So it is suggested to prompt interventions on positive living and healthy diet in order to prevent and reduce the onset of ADHD in preschoolers.
