“…The relevant data of Chinese dental students was lower than the morbidity rate of ADHD (8.45%) among Chinese medical students [33]. Several studies have demonstrated a correlation between ADHD and learning disabilities, particularly in verbal reasoning, visual-auditory memory, and cognitive traits [34,35]. It can be inferred that some individuals with ADHD will be slightly worse than ordinary people in learning ability.…”

Background Few studies focus on investigating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD) symptoms in dental students. Statistical analysis of demographic factors in this population can assist in supplementing clinical practice. This study was designed to examine the prevalence of ADHD symptoms among dental students, explore the correlation between life satisfaction and ADHD symptoms, and discuss whether resilience mediates the association between life satisfaction and ADHD symptoms. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in May 2023 at a medical university in China. Self-report questionnaires consisting of the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale, the Wender Utah Rating Scale, the Life Satisfaction Scale, the Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale, and sociodemographic characteristics. Hierarchical linear regression analyses were used to investigate the effect of ADHD symptoms on life satisfaction, and resampling and asymptotic strategies were used to explore the mediation of resilience. Results Totally,291 dental students became final objects. On account of the cutoffs of the scales, 6.87% of the students were likely to have ADHD. There were differences in ADHD prevalence among objects of diverse ages and with varying levels of paternal education. The ADHD asymptomatic group had distinctly higher resilience and life satisfaction degrees than the symptomatic group. Both inattention and hyperactivity were negatively correlated with resilience and life satisfaction. In the students, resilience was observably positively related to life satisfaction. Resilience plays a mediating role between the two symptoms of ADHD and life satisfaction. Conclusions The prevalence of ADHD in Chinese dental students is slightly higher than in general adults. It was revealed that paternal education level was relevant to the morbidity. Hyperactivity was significantly relevant to life satisfaction. Detecting ADHD symptoms earlier is helping improve future dentists’ mental health. Resilience intervention programs can enhance dental students’ life satisfaction, especially for students with ADHD symptoms.

“…The study outcomes indicate that 6.87% of the dental students had positive screening results for ADHD symptoms, which is less than the positive screening rate found among Chinese medical students (8.45%) in other studies (Shi et al, 2018). Several studies have demonstrated a correlation between ADHD and learning disabilities, particularly in verbal reasoning, visual-auditory memory, and cognitive traits (Talero-Gutiérrez et al, 2010; Toffalini et al, 2022). Some individuals with ADHD will show slightly worse learning performance than those without ADHD.…”

“…This finding is consistent with a study examining medical students (Shi et al, 2018). The rational interpretation is that people with ADHD often have other mental disorders, including mood disorders, learning disabilities, and so on (Cumyn et al, 2009; Talero-Gutiérrez et al, 2010), and many have experienced significant adverse events (Dvorsky & Langberg, 2016). These are all inversely related to resilience (Shi et al, 2018).…”

Objective: This study explores the correlation between life satisfaction and ADHD symptoms. It also discusses whether resilience mediates the correlation between ADHD symptoms and life satisfaction. Method: We surveyed 297 dental students. A total of 291 completed a self-report scale consisting of the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale, Wender Utah Rating Scale, Life Satisfaction Scale, and Conner–Davidson Resilience Scale. The study used hierarchical linear regression analysis, resampling, and asymptotic strategies for data processing. Results: The ADHD screening results of the self-report scale were positive for 6.87% of the students. This positive rate differed among participants of diverse ages and varying paternal education levels. ADHD symptoms were negatively correlated with life satisfaction and resilience. Life satisfaction was observably positively associated with resilience. Resilience serves as a mediating role between life satisfaction and the two symptoms of ADHD. Conclusion: Resilience intervention programs can enhance the life satisfaction of dental students, especially those with positive ADHD symptoms screening.

“…Little information is available on the learning difficulties associated with ADHD symptoms in autistic children; however, recent studies suggest a strong association between symptoms of ADHD and learning difficulties. (10,11) These studies make it reasonable to speculate that the presence of ADHD symptoms in patients with ASD may hamper learning. Nevertheless, treatment of ADHD symptoms with methylphenidate (Ritalin), a drug much used at the moment for the treatment of ADHD, has been found to be less effective and the rate of side effects is higher.…”

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects 0.6 to 1% of the population worldwide. It is characterized by a deficit in communication and social interaction, and is associated with restricted and repetitive behavior patterns. Stereotypes include inflexible adhesion to specific non-functional routines and rituals and a persistent concern with parts of objects rather than the object as a whole. Up to the present time, there are no specific tests that permit a laboratory diagnosis of the disorder to be carried out, and the syndrome is confirmed by clinical observation in the first 36 months of the patient’s life. Clinical manifestations such as epilepsy, mental retardation, sleep disorders, hyperactivity, irritability and auto- and heteroaggressiveness may alter the patient’s prognosis. Around 50% of children with ASD fulfill the criteria for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) associated with autism appear to indicate a distinct phenotype requiring specific therapeutic measures. ASD is not a discrete nosological entity but, rather, a multifactorial syndrome associated with different phenotypic and biological presentations. Various disorders such as pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract have been linked to ASD, not only insofar as causality is concerned but also with respect to their role in aggravating the disease. Other associated disorders include lesions in physiological processes such as the redox metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction and enzymatic regulation of essential metabolites. Currently, studies on direct and indirect markers of mitochondrial metabolism associated with anomalies found in the brain of these patients point to the possibility of these markers being used as tools with which to reach a diagnosis that would be laboratory based rather than merely clinical.
