Abstract in brief
- The study found that prenatal exposure to tobacco and blood lead levels are significantly associated with an increased risk of ADHD in children, with prenatal tobacco exposure linked to a 2.5 times higher odds and high blood lead levels linked to a 4.1 times higher odds.
- Prenatal tobacco exposure was associated with approximately 270,000 extra cases of ADHD, while lead exposure was linked to about 290,000 additional cases in the US, suggesting these environmental factors contribute notably to ADHD risk.
- Postnatal tobacco smoke exposure was not significantly linked to ADHD, emphasizing the importance of prenatal environmental factors in the development of the disorder.]
