We investigated a possible association between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and overweight by measuring weight status and energy expenditure (basal metabolic rate, BMR) in 39 ADHD-boys with hyperactivity (mixed hyperactive/impulsive and inattentive or predominantly hyperactive/impulsive) and 30 healthy boys. The age range for the total group was 8-14 years. Weight and height were measured by a calibrated scales and stadiometer. Body mass index standard deviation scores (BMI-SDS) were calculated. BMR was determined by indirect calorimetry. Significant differences were obtained between the ADHD- and the control-group, but not between ADHD-subgroups. Both BMI-SDS and BMR were higher in the group of ADHD-boys, whereby the differences were more marked when they were older. More overweight and obese subjects were found in the ADHD-sample. Impulsive behavior in ADHD-boys with hyperactivity may lead to an increased food intake, which is then likely to overcompensate the heightened energy expenditure.
我们通过测量39名患有多动症状的注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）男孩（混合性多动/冲动与注意力不集中型或主要为多动/冲动型）和30名健康男孩的体重状况及能量消耗（基础代谢率，BMR），研究了ADHD与超重之间可能存在的关联。整个研究组的年龄范围为8至14岁。体重和身高通过校准过的秤和身高计进行测量。计算体重指数标准差分数（BMI-SDS）。BMR通过间接测热法测定。ADHD组与对照组之间存在显著差异，但ADHD亚组之间无差异。ADHD男孩组的BMI-SDS和BMR均较高，年龄较大时差异更为明显。在ADHD样本中发现更多超重和肥胖的受试者。患有多动症状的ADHD男孩的冲动行为可能导致食物摄入量增加，进而可能过度补偿增加的能量消耗。
