A case control study was conducted at the Child Development and Early Intervention Clinic to determine the body iron status of children with ADHD, and study the correlation between the body iron status and ADHD symptoms. Serum ferritin was measured in newly diagnosed cases with ADHD and compared with that of controls. Correlation was studied between serum ferritin levels and the severity of ADHD symptoms as determined by Conners Rating Scale. Serum ferritin was found to be significantly lower in children with ADHD (6.04 ± 3.85 ng/mL) as compared to controls (48.96 ± 41.64 ng/mL, P value < 0.001). There was a significant negative correlation between serum ferritin levels and oppositional subscore on Conners Rating Scale.
一项病例对照研究在儿童发展和早期干预诊所进行，以确定 ADHD 儿童的身体铁状况，并研究身体铁状况与 ADHD 症状之间的相关性。测量新诊断的 ADHD 病例的血清铁蛋白，并与对照组进行比较。研究血清铁蛋白水平与 Conners 评定量表确定的 ADHD 症状严重程度之间的相关性。与对照组（48.96±41.64ng/ml，P 值＜0.001）相比，ADHD 儿童的血清铁蛋白显著降低（6.04±3.85ng/ml）。血清铁蛋白水平与 Conners 评定量表的对立子评分呈显著负相关。
