Girls with ADHD in childhood are twice as likely to have obesity

Girls with ADHD in childhood are twice as likely to have obesity

A study by Mayo Clinic researchers found that there is an association between obesity and the development of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) during childhood and adulthood.

The study included 336 individuals with ADHD in childhood born between 1976 and 1982 and compared with 665 people who did not have ADHD of the same age and sex. Weight, height and medications used in treatment were pooled from medical records detailing what was done from January 1, 1976 through August 31, 2010.

Researchers found that women with childhood ADHD were twice as likely to be at risk of developing obesity during childhood and adulthood compared to women who did not have the problem. Obesity was not associated with medication used during childhood. According to the researchers, the results should encourage all ADHD patients to take preventive measures, especially a healthy lifestyle, as part of the routine to prevent obesity.

As a result of the study, researchers are looking for the specific effects of other psychiatric comorbidities in relation to the development of obesity.
