          Abstract

          OBJECTIVE: This Study aimed to characterize the motor development and nutritional status of scholars with ADHD indicative. METHODS: Eighty scholars of both sexes, aged 12,30 ±1,16 years old participated; separated in groups with (n = 40) and without ADHD indicative. To identify ADHD and Motor Development were used respectively, the Hyperactivity and Attention Deficit Evaluation Scale, and the motor battery MABC-2. Height and weight were measured to calculate Body Mass Index. Data were analyzed on SPSS17 software, adopting p < 0,05 significance levels. RESULTS: The subjects presented, in most, a normal motor development. The ADHD group showed most numbers of subjects with a "defined motor problem". It was found a statistically difference on throwing and catching skills (p = 0,005), balance (p = 0,010) and general motor development (p = 0,014) which without ADHD group presents better performance. It wasn't found any significative association between motor development and ADHD presence. The scholars showed adequate nutritional state for age, but didn't present a statistically significative difference between groups. Besides that, many subjects in both groups were classificated as overweight. An inverse relation between nutritional status and balance was found on with ADHD group (r = -0,321). CONCLUSIONS: There was difference in balance skills and abilities manuals, with poorer motor performance presented by the group with ADHD. They also found that the higher the BMI of children with ADHD worse performance in the balance

          OBJETIVO: caracterizar o desempenho motor e estado nutricional de escolares com indicativo de Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH). MÉTODO: participaram 80 escolares de ambos os sexos, com média de idade de 12,30 ± 1,16 anos, divididos em grupos com (n = 40) e sem (n = 40) indicativo de TDAH. Para identificar o TDAH e o desempenho motor foram utilizados, respectivamente, a escala para avaliação do transtorno por déficit de atenção e hiperatividade (EDA-H) e a bateria motora MABC-2. Foram avaliados o peso e estatura corporal para o cálculo do Índice de Massa Corporal. Os dados foram analisados através do software SPSS17, com índice de significância de p < 0,05. RESULTADOS: Os escolares apresentaram, em sua maioria, desenvolvimento motor normal e o grupo com TDAH apresentou número maior de sujeitos com "problema motor definido". Foi encontrada diferença estatisticamente significante nas habilidades de lançar e receber (p = 0,005), equilíbrio (p = 0,010) e desenvolvimento motor geral (p = 0,014) onde o grupo sem TDAH apresentou melhor desempenho. Não foi encontrada associação significante entre desempenho motor e presença de TDAH. Os escolares apresentaram classificação do estado nutricional adequada para a idade, não sendo encontrada diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos. Contudo, muitos escolares em ambos os grupos apresentaram sobrepeso. Foi encontrada uma relação inversa entre estado nutricional e habilidade de equilíbrio para o grupo com TDAH (r = -0,321). CONCLUSÃO: Ocorreu diferença nas habilidades equilíbrio e destrezas manuais, com pior desempenho motor apresentado pelo grupo com TDAH. Também foi verificado que quanto maior o IMC dos escolares com TDAH pior o desempenho no equilíbrio.

              Childhood obesity and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder: a newly described comorbidity in obese hospitalized children.

              The current study described a subgroup of children presenting with obesity and comorbid attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) and assessed a possible casual relationship. School-aged children hospitalized for obesity (body mass index [BMI] >85%) in a tertiary referral center underwent extensive evaluations and were prospectively assessed for comorbid AD/HD. During a 4-year period, 32 obese school-aged children were hospitalized and 26 were included in the current study. We found that over one half (57.7%) suffered from comorbid AD/HD. AD/HD shows a high comorbidity among obese hospitalized children. The characteristic difficulty in regulation found in AD/HD may be a risk factor for the development of abnormal eating behaviors leading to obesity. We suggest that obese children should be screened routinely for AD/HD. Copyright 2005 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc
