Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood. Many studies reported that excessive social media use is more likely to develop symptoms of ADHD.
A cross-sectional study was carried out at Tanta University. The study recruited a total sample of 933 college students from Tanta University from five randomly selected colleges. Data was collected using self-administrated questionnaires made in Google Forms sent to social media groups of students. We used the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) Symptom Checklist instructions.
The total number of respondents was 933. Those at risk of ADHD represented 30.5%. All sociodemographic variables were not found to significantly affect the risk for ADHD except for the presence of the father in the family. This of ADHD significantly increased to 42.3% and 44.4% for those whose fathers were traveling abroad or separated from their mothers, respectively (p = 0.031). The risk for ADHD significantly decreased among those who practice sports to reach 24.1% compared to 33.8% for those who did not (p = 0.002). The risk for ADHD increased significantly among those who used mass media to watch reels. ADHD risk was found to increase with increased hours of watching media during the study period (p < 0.001) during weekends (p = 0.001) and holidays (p = 0.038). Multivariate analysis showed that practicing sports independently reduces the risk for ADHD (Exp B = 0.679). Meanwhile, both watching reels and hours of using media during the study period independently increase the risk (Exp B = 1.493 and 1.390, respectively).
There are many factors affecting ADHD, we found that watching reels, status, stories, and shorts and the number of hours spent on social media during the study period are independent risk factors. Practicing sports is an independent protective factor. Most of the factors need further studies.
注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）是儿童期最常见的神经发育障碍之一。许多研究报告称，过度使用社交媒体更有可能出现ADHD症状。
在坦塔大学进行了一项横断面研究。该研究从坦塔大学五个随机选择的学院中招募了933名大学生作为总样本。数据通过发送到学生社交媒体群组的谷歌表单中自行填写的问卷收集。我们使用了成人ADHD自我报告量表（ASRS-v1.1）症状清单说明。
受访者总数为933人。有ADHD风险的人占30.5%。除了家庭中父亲的情况外，未发现所有社会人口统计学变量对ADHD风险有显著影响。对于父亲出国旅行或与母亲分居的人，ADHD风险分别显著增加到42.3%和44.4%（p = 0.031）。与不运动的人相比，运动的人患ADHD的风险显著降低，降至24.1%，而不运动的人这一比例为33.8%（p = 0.002）。在观看短视频的人群中，ADHD风险显著增加。研究发现，在研究期间、周末（p = 0.001）和节假日（p = 0.038），随着观看媒体时间的增加，ADHD风险也增加（p < 0.001）。多变量分析表明，独立运动可降低ADHD风险（Exp B = 0.679）。同时，观看短视频和研究期间使用媒体的时长均独立增加风险（Exp B分别为1.493和1.390）。
有许多因素影响ADHD，我们发现观看短视频、状态、故事和短片以及研究期间花在社交媒体上的时长是独立的风险因素。运动是一个独立的保护因素。大多数因素需要进一步研究。
