Adult attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and obesity: epidemiological study
Open accessAbstract
Background: A significant association between attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and obesity has been reported. This study addresses unexplored aspects of this relationship. Aims: To evaluate the association between adult obesity and: (a) persistent, remitted or lifetime ADHD; (b) number of childhood ADHD symptoms, controlling for socioeconomic status and mood, anxiety and substance use disorders. Method: Face-to-face psychiatric interviews in 34653 US adults from the National Epidemiologic Study on Alcohol and Related Conditions. Obesity was defined as a body mass index ⩾30. Results: Persistent, lifetime or remitted ADHD were not associated with obesity after controlling for confounders. The number of childhood ADHD symptoms was significantly associated with adult obesity, even after adjustment, in women. Conclusions: Childhood ADHD symptoms are associated with obesity in women even after comorbid psychiatric disorders are accounted for. This provides a rationale for longitudinal studies assessing the impact of the treatment of childhood ADHD symptoms on obesity in women.

Adverse outcomes in adolescence and adulthood for people with ADHD include academic and vocational underachievement, reduced occupational functioning, obesity, emotional dysregulation, unemployment and suicide attempts.
“Adverse outcomes in adolescence and adulthood for people with ADHD include academic and vocational underachievement, reduced occupa tional functioning, obesity 215 , emotional dysregu lation 103 , unemployment and suicide attempts 121,216 .”
From Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (2015) · cites this paper as [215]
Citation 215 is attached to obesity, not to the other listed outcomes. The Introduction describes evidence of an ADHD–obesity association in children and adults, but the Discussion reports that the association for adult ADHD did not hold after adjustment; an adjusted association remained for childhood ADHD symptoms in women. The source therefore supports a qualified link, not obesity as a general outcome for people with ADHD. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
