Abstract

Objective To analyze the body composition of school-age children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),in order to provide guidance for clinical intervention in children with ADHD. Methods A total of 376 children were recruited as ADHD group from January to December 2022 in the Department of Child Health Care in Children's Hospital of Soochow University.Meanwhile,94 children who took physical examination in this hospital were selected as the control group.The body composition of all children was assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis. Results The weight,body fat(BF),body mass index(BMI),fat mass index(FMI),percentage of body fat (PBF) and waist hip ratio(WHR) of children in ADHD group were higher than those of children in control group (t=2.400,3.618,3.358,3.901,3.458,2.935,P＜0.05).Furthermore,significant differences were observed in BF,FMI,PBF among children with predominantly inattentive ADHD,predominantly hyperactive/impulsive ADHD and combined ADHD (F=3.295,3.362,4.337,P＜0.05). Conclusions The body composition of ADHD children is different from that of typicallt developed children.Children with ADHD are at a higher risk of obesity,especially in those with predominantly inattentive ADHD.
