Is the prevalence of ADHD in Turkish elementary school children really high?
Our results confirmed a substantially higher ADHD prevalence rate (more than double) than the suggested pooled worldwide prevalence, although similar to the one recently detected in a representative populational sample of children in the US (11 %). These findings, consistent with previous developmental epidemiology studies from Turkey, confirm that ADHD is highly prevalent in Turkish elementary school children.
Short-term, HFD-induced, mild obesity is harmful to the septic host, reduces adiponectin sensitivity, and could be the cause of worsening pathologic conditions.
