年龄与ADHD诊断的关系解析：揭示关键因素
研究人员对年龄与ADHD诊断间的关联展开研究以揭示学龄期儿童的年龄是否影响诊断概率。 包括多动、冲动以及注意力不集中在内的诸多行为症状是注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）患儿众所周知的共同特征。已知有多种因素决定ADHD的检出概率。来自芬兰的研究人员正在探讨相对年龄与ADHD诊断间是否存在关联。 先前的研究发现，学龄期较小的相对年龄与ADHD间存在着一种复杂的关联，该相对年龄指的是同年级所有同学间实际年龄的比较。上述芬兰科研人员对相对年龄与ADHD间的相关性展开研究：即那些相对年龄较小的儿童其ADHD检出率是高于还是低于他们的同级同学？ 该研究项目在芬兰全国范围内对出生于1991年1月1日至2004年12月31日间的所有登记新生儿进行调研，从中检出在入学年龄时（7岁）发生ADHD的儿童。 正如发表在Lancet Psychiatry期刊上的论文所示，该项目研究人员在1998至2011年期间共检出6136名ADHD儿童。研究结果显示，9-12月份间出生的儿童其ADHD诊断率要高于1-4月份出生的儿童，这一结果表明，相比于同一年级的较年长同学，较小年龄儿童更易被检出ADHD。当研究人员仅聚焦2004-2011年间的数据时，他们发现上述关联更为显著。 该项目研究结果表明，相较同级学生中的年长者，相对年龄较小的儿童被诊断出患ADHD的可能性更大，这也意味着ADHD假阳性及误诊率的增加。反之，相对年龄较大的儿童更有可能被漏诊。因此，教师、教育工作者及医务人员在评估学龄儿童的行为和能力时应该考虑他们的相对年龄，以便使评估及ADHD的诊断更加精准。 作者: Dr. MòNique J.
