    ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) merupakan masalah perilaku di masa kecil yang dapat berlanjut hingga dewasa. Pemberian ASI dapat menurunkan risiko terjadinya ADHD pada anak. Penelitian dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara riwayat pemberian ASI dengan kecenderungan attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) pada siswa SD di Kota Padang. Jenis penelitian ini adalah analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Responden penelitian adalah guru dan ibu dari siswa SD di Kelurahan Ulak Karang Selatan yang berumur 7ā€“12 tahun sebanyak 134 orang. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan teknik consecutive sampling. Instrumen penelitian ini menggunakan kuesioner riwayat pemberian ASI dan Connerā€™s Abbreviated Parentā€“Teacher Rating Scale. Data dianalisis menggunakan Chi Square Test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat 25 orang (18,7%) yang cenderung ADHD dengan 18 orang (72,0%) lakiā€“laki dan usia terbanyak adalah 7 tahun (32,0%). Cakupan ASI eksklusif didapatkan sebesar 71 orang (53,0%). Terdapat 11 anak (44,0%) dengan kecenderungan ADHD pada riwayat pemberian ASI eksklusif dan 14 anak (56,0%) ASI tidak eksklusif. Tidak terdapat hubungan secara signifikan antara riwayat pemberian ASI dengan kecenderungan ADHD pada siswa SD di Kota Padang (p=0,318). Berdasarkan penelitian dapat disimpulkan, kecenderungan ADHD terjadi sekitar 18,7% anak pada usia sekolah dan tidak ada hubungan antara riwayat pemberian ASI dengan kecenderungan ADHD.

    BACKGROUND: Breastfeeding has been associated with a lower risk for behavioral problems in childhood. However, it is uncertain whether these associations are mediated by the motherā€™s or childā€™s IQ. We examined the association between breastfeeding and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other behavioral problems in childhood and assessed the role of the childā€™s IQ and the motherā€™s IQ in generating this association. FINDINGS: The current study included 874 children (8-11 years) recruited from schools in five Korean cities. Mothers were asked about nursing, and the prevalence of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and behavioral problems were compared between children who were breastfed and those who were not breastfed. After adjusting for age, gender, area of residence, and yearly family income, a lack of breastfeeding was associated with increased internalizing, externalizing, and overall behavioral problems as well as the diagnosis of ADHD. These associations weakened but mostly remained significant after adjusting for childā€™s IQ and maternal IQ. In addition, a lack of breastfeeding was associated with low childā€™s IQ and this association weakened, but remained significant even after adjusting for maternal IQ and the diagnosis of ADHD. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that there is a protective effect of breastfeeding on childhood behavioral outcomes with a partial mediation of this effect by the childā€™s IQ, and there is a positive effect of breastfeeding on childhood intelligence with a partial mediation of this effect by the childā€™s attention problem

    Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders with significant individual and societal negative impacts of the disorder continuing into adulthood (Danielson et al. in\ua0Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, in press; Landes and London in Journal of Attention Disorders 25:3-13, 2021). Genetic and environmental risk (e.g., modifiable exposures such as prenatal tobacco exposure and child maltreatment) for ADHD is likely multifactorial (Faraone et al. in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews 128:789-818, 2021). However, the evidence for potentially modifiable contextual risks is spread across studies with different methodologies and ADHD criteria limiting understanding of the relationship between early risk factors and later childhood ADHD. Using common methodology across six meta-analyses (Bitsko et al. in Prevention Science, 2022; Claussen et al. in Prevention Science 1-23,\ua02022; Dimitrov et al. in Prevention Science, 2023; Maher et al. in Prevention Science, 2023; Robinson, Bitsko\ua0et al. in Prevention Science, 2022; So et al. in Prevention Science, 2022) examining 59 risk factors for childhood ADHD, the papers in this special issue use a public health approach to address prior gaps in the literature. This introductory paper provides examples of comprehensive public health approaches focusing on policy, systems, and environmental changes across socio-ecological contexts to improve health and wellbeing through prevention, early intervention, and support across development using findings from these meta-analyses. Together, the findings from these studies and a commentary by an author independent from the risk studies have the potential to minimize risk conditions, prioritize prevention efforts, and improve the long-term health and wellbeing of children and adults with ADHD.CC999999/ImCDC/Intramural CDC HHSUnited States

    Previous studies have shown mixed results on the relationship between prenatal, birth, and postnatal ("pregnancy-related") risk factors and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We conducted meta-analyses to identify potentially modifiable pregnancy-related factors associated with ADHD. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE in 2014, followed by an updated search in January 2021, identified 69 articles published in English on pregnancy-related risk factors and ADHD for inclusion. Risk factors were included in the meta-analysis if at least three effect sizes with clear pregnancy-related risk factor exposure were identified. Pooled effect sizes were calculated for ADHD overall, ADHD diagnosis, inattention, and hyperactivity/impulsivity. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated for dichotomous measures and correlation coefficients (CC) for continuous measures. Prenatal factors (pre-pregnancy weight, preeclampsia, pregnancy complications, elevated testosterone exposure), and postnatal factors (Apgar score, neonatal illness, no breastfeeding) were positively associated with ADHD overall; the findings for ADHD diagnosis were similar with the exception that there were too few effect sizes available to examine pre-pregnancy weight and lack of breastfeeding. Prenatal testosterone was significantly associated with inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity. Effect sizes were generally small (range 1.1-1.6 ORs, -0.16-0.11 CCs). Risk factors occurring at the time of birth (perinatal asphyxia, labor complications, mode of delivery) were not significantly associated with ADHD. A better understanding of factors that are consistently associated with ADHD may inform future prevention strategies. The findings reported here suggest that prenatal and postnatal factors may serve as potential targets for preventing or mitigating the symptoms of ADHD.CC999999/ImCDC/Intramural CDC HHSUnited States/ID04130157/DD/NCBDD CDC HHSUnited States

    Alcohol Use during Pregnancy: Considerations for Australian Policy

    Get PDF
    Although there is an extensive recorded history of concerns related to alcohol exposed pregnancies and possible outcomes of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder in recent scientific literature, Australia has only recently begun to accurately or systematically diagnose and record these conditions, or to provide comprehensive, coordinated, policy-guided funding, prevention, and treatment. This article discusses some considerations that can guide policy development within the Australian context including the social context and determinates of alcohol consumption during pregnancy and the need to consider the issue as one that goes beyond the decision making of individual women. The article also identifies the contribution of research to guide evidence-based policy development, including emerging evidence of epigenetics, and systematic reviews for prevention. Other policy considerations include costs, and the possibility of the prevention paradox applying to this field, with its associated impact on costs and focus of prevention

Autumn 2015;9(4): 48-53.AbstractObjectiveAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent mental health disorders. In recent years, the impacts of various micronutrients on ADHD have been studied. However, vitamin D has received much less attention. This study was aimed at evaluating the association and level of serum vitamin D in children with ADHD.Materials & MethodsThis case-control study was carried out, in 2012, on 6 to 12 yr-old children.Thirty-seven were children with ADHD in the cases group and another 37 healthy children were in the control group. Venous blood sample was drawn from each child to measure the serum level of vitamin D. Other variables were compared as well.ResultsThe mean serum vitamin D level of children with ADHD (19.11Ā±10.10 ng/ml) was significantly lower than that of the control group (28.67Ā±13.76 ng/ml) (P<0.001).ConclusionDeficiency of vitamin D has been proved in various psychiatric diseases. This study evidenced a significantly low level of serum vitamin D in children with ADHD. This suggests the need for regularly monitoring of serum vitamin D levels and treatment of patients with vitamin D deficiencies
