Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and psychiatric correlates of symptomatic ADHD in a large metropolitan area of a middle-income country.

Methods: An in-person household survey with randomly selected 2,297 adults aged 19 to 60 from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, assessed by trained lay interviewers. The Adult Self-Rating Scale Screener (ASRS-6) was used. Chi-square and logistic regression were conducted.

Results: ADHD prevalence was 4.59 (95% CI [3.56, 5.44]). Those with ADHD were younger and more often unemployed; they displayed more psychiatric symptoms (depression, anxiety, and alcohol abuse) and a history of bullying and sexual abuse. They also had worse physical health indicators. Findings remained significant when controlling for socioeconomic variables.

Conclusion: Adults with symptomatic ADHD from a large metropolitan area in Brazil show a pattern of findings consistent with what has been observed in higher-income countries.

巴西大都市地区的成人多动症症状：巴西大都会地区成人多动症症状：患病率及其与精神疾病、欺凌、性虐待和生活质量的关系。

研究目的本研究旨在调查一个中等收入国家大都市地区症状性多动症的患病率和精神相关因素：在巴西里约热内卢随机抽取 2,297 名年龄在 19 至 60 岁之间的成年人进行面对面家庭调查，由经过培训的非专业访问员进行评估。调查使用了成人自评量表筛选器（ASRS-6）。结果显示，多动症的患病率为 4.4%，而多动症的发病率为 4.5%：多动症患病率为 4.59（95% CI [3.56，5.44]）。多动症患者更年轻，更经常失业；他们表现出更多的精神症状（抑郁、焦虑和酗酒），并有欺凌和性虐待史。他们的身体健康指标也较差。在控制了社会经济变量后，研究结果仍然很重要：结论：巴西大都市地区有症状的多动症成年人的研究结果与高收入国家的研究结果一致。
