Abstract

Aims: The objective of the current study is to investigate the prevalence of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) among individuals diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM). Additionally, this study aims to evaluate the potential association between ADHD and metabolic syndrome (MetS), atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), and other lipid parameters, considering the different types of DM.
Methods: The study comprised 213 adult patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, consisting of 120 females and 93 males. Participants completed the Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Report Scale (ASRS) as a screening tool for symptoms. The study assessed many physiological indicators, including body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, glucose levels, cholesterol levels, high-density lipoprotein levels, low-density lipoprotein levels, triglyceride levels, uric acid levels, and glycated hemoglobin levels.
Results: The study yielded a prevalence rate of 10.7% for ADHD among diabetes individuals. The prevalence of ADHD was found to be more common in individuals diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) compared to those with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with rates of 15.4% and 9.8% respectively. The study revealed that individuals diagnosed with T2DM who also had MetS, organ involvement, concurrent disorders, and stress-related eating had significantly higher scores on the ASRS/T scale. There was a correlation observed between the ASRS-HI and AIP levels in individuals diagnosed with T2DM. The statistical analysis revealed that ADHD-HI and T scores significantly influenced the severity of MetS. A progressive increase in ASRS/T and ASRS/I scores was observed with the duration of DM.
Conclusion: In conclusion, by recognizing and treating accompanying neuropsychiatric conditions such as ADHD symptoms in diabetic patients, individuals may exhibit improved adherence to lifestyle modifications and antidiabetic therapies. This approach potentially reduces the risks of acute and chronic complications, including cardiovascular risk, through the enhanced management of DM.
