Neurobehavioral phenotypes of delay discounting and cognitive control in child attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder and obesity: Shared or distinct?
Authors' conclusion
Heightened game time DD with delays and rewards experienced in real-time may represent a neurobehavioral phenotype that is shared between ADHD and overweight/obesity in childhood, whereas deficient CC may be specific to children with ADHD.
Study context
- Population
- Children aged 8–12 years with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), varying in body weight
- Participants
- 323 children
- Comparison
- Children with ADHD vs typically developing (TD) controls, varying in body weight
- ADHDn = 215
- TDn = 108reference
- Outcome
- Game time DD, CC (go/no-go)
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Game time delay discounting (DD): BMIz*ADHD interaction; TD children with overweight/obesity showed greater game time DD than TD children without overweight/obesity, similar to children with ADHD
- Only children with ADHD showed poorer cognitive control (CC) vs TD children, with no effects of body weight
Observational data: associations, not effects.
