To compare health behaviors, physical health outcomes, and health care utilization between children with and without ADHD. : In this cross-sectional study, we obtained data for children with and without ADHD from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. To investigate the association between ADHD and health outcomes, we estimated the adjusted prevalence ratios (APRs) in these groups. : Among 10,838 children aged 7 to 18 years with and without ADHD, those with ADHD had significantly higher APRs for overall health problems, physical illness, and injuries than those without ADHD. Despite having health care needs, children with ADHD were less likely than those without ADHD to use health care services. However, there were no significant associations between most health behaviors and ADHD. : Increased efforts are needed to provide quality health care services to address the medical conditions of children with ADHD and to enhance their health care utilization when needed.
为了比较有和没有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的儿童之间的健康行为、身体健康结果和医疗保健利用情况。在这项横断面研究中，我们从韩国国家健康和营养检查调查中获取了有和没有 ADHD 的儿童的数据。为了研究 ADHD 与健康结果之间的关系，我们估计了这两个组之间的调整后患病率比（APR）。在 10838 名 7 至 18 岁的有和没有 ADHD 的儿童中，患有 ADHD 的儿童在总体健康问题、身体疾病和伤害方面的 APR 明显高于没有 ADHD 的儿童。尽管有医疗保健需求，但患有 ADHD 的儿童使用医疗保健服务的可能性低于没有 ADHD 的儿童。然而，大多数健康行为与 ADHD 之间没有显著关联。需要加大努力提供优质的医疗保健服务，以解决患有 ADHD 的儿童的医疗条件，并在需要时增强他们的医疗保健利用。
