Abstract: Objective: To investigate the prevalence of attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in 4-7-year-old children of Yugur nationality in Gansu Province,and analyze the related intelligence characteristics of the children.
Methods: Three public kindergartens in Sunan Yugur Autonomous County of Gansu Province were selected by using stratified cluster random sampling method.Totally 413 Yugur preschool children aged 4-7 years old were investigated by using the Conners (PSQ) parents′ symptom questionnaire and teachers′ questionnaire.In the children with positive PSQ other neurological and mental diseases were excluded.The DSM (Fifth Edition) was used as the diagnosis criteria,and the results of Wechsler primary and preschool intelligence scale (WPPSI) which was used to test children′s intelligence were analyzed.
Results: A total of 413 questionnaires were sent out and 411 valid questionnaires were collected.The total prevalence of ADHD was 2.9% (12/411),and it was 3.6%(8/225) in boys and 2.2%(4/186) in girls.There was no significant difference between boys and girls (P>0.05).The intelligence test index of WPPSI of Yugur preschool children aged 4-7 years was lower than that of normal control group(P<0.01).The operation IQ in WPPSI of girls was statistically higher than that of boys(P<0.05).
Conclusion: The prevalence of ADHD in Yugur preschool children in Gansu Province is significantly lower than the national average level,which may be related to national character,family situation and living environment.The intelligence level of ADHD children is lower than that of the normal,so early intervention should be carried out.
