Recent studies have generally found an increased prevalence of overweight and obesity among children, adolescents and adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and the latest research suggests, that ADHD is also associated with problematic eating behaviour and eating disorders. The pathways of these associations are still up for discussion, but both psychological and biological factors are important aspects. There is further-more a good theoretical basis for the assumption, that active drug treatment of ADHD may minimise the risk of overweight. However, existing research is predominantly based on small, selected cross-sectional studies.
近期研究普遍发现，患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的儿童、青少年和成年人中超重和肥胖的患病率有所上升，最新研究表明，ADHD还与问题饮食行为和饮食失调有关。这些关联的途径仍有待讨论，但心理和生物学因素都是重要方面。此外，有充分的理论依据假设，对ADHD进行积极的药物治疗可能会降低超重风险。然而，现有研究主要基于小型的、特定的横断面研究。
