The role of a child in his/her physical abuse was reviewed with particular attention to hyperactive children. A retrospective analysis of the records of children referred to a university-based hyperactive children's clinic revealed that children both with and without Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) were more often physically abused than children in the general population. The period prevalence of physical abuse in children with ADD did not differ significantly from that in children without ADD. This suggests that hyperactivity may either contribute to, or result from, physical abuse.
对儿童在身体虐待中所起的作用进行了审查，特别关注了多动儿童。对转诊至一所大学附属多动儿童诊所的儿童记录进行的回顾性分析显示，患有和未患有注意力缺陷障碍（ADD）的儿童比普通人群中的儿童更常遭受身体虐待。患有ADD的儿童身体虐待的期间患病率与未患有ADD的儿童相比没有显著差异。这表明多动可能是身体虐待的促成因素或结果。
