Discussion

Analysis shows increased ADHD burden in Chinese children and adolescents, suggesting the need for proactive interventions.

The disease burden of ADHD in China increased significantly from 1990 to 2021, indicating worsened health outcomes.
In 2021, ADHD incidence rose by 41.46%, prevalence by 21.44%, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) by 21.75% compared to 1990.
Joinpoint regression models predict ADHD rates will continue rising, reaching critical levels by 2031.
Higher rates of ADHD burden are observed in males and in the 10-14 year age group; preventive measures are essential.

Jia et al. (2025) studied this question.
