Lower birth weight as a risk factor for the development of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms.

Our findings provide stringent evidence for environmental effect of lower birth weight on the causal pathway to elevated ADHD symptoms. Effect of birth weight persists across a 14‐year period… Continuar lendo The role of birth weight on the causal pathway to child and adolescent ADHD symptomatology.
