AI synopsis

What people are saying

The group discusses the heritability of ADHD, with statements like 'ADHD 80% genetic' which indicate some support for the research's findings. However, dismissive comments such as denying links between diet and ADHD, or questioning the validity of genetic claims, show a mixed engagement level. Overall, the tone varies from informational to skeptical, reflecting moderate interest and engagement but not deep or widespread impact.

AgreementNeither agree nor disagree

The discussions show mixed views; some acknowledge the genetic basis of ADHD, while others question or dismiss the claims, leading to a neutral overall stance.

InterestNeutral interest

The discussions do not demonstrate strong curiosity or engagement with the research, reflected in brief and somewhat dismissive comments.

EngagementModerate engagement

There is some active participation, especially in referencing the heritability and genetic aspects of ADHD, indicating moderate curiosity and effort to engage with the topic.

ImpactModerate impact

The comments highlight that the article's emphasis on genetics is recognized, but the brief responses suggest limited influence on broader opinions or actions.

Abstract in brief

  • This study used twin data to find that ADHD has a high genetic component (heritability around 88%) across all ages, including adults, with minimal influence from shared environment.
  • The heritability estimate for ADHD in adults was also significant (around 72%), indicating genetics play a major role throughout the lifespan.
  • Previous conflicting results about ADHD heritability in adults might be due to differences in how ADHD was measured; this research suggests genetics are consistently important, and future studies should consider multiple raters and how ADHD develops over time.]

@RadioFarSide @jonathanstea There is no evidence of a link between any dietary factor and ADHD. But there is evidence of heritability greater than height. https://t.co/Y78KJzDFqI

Recep İvedik'in benim dna'mda çalışmak yok, kodum bozuk lafı doğru ve geçerliymiş. Adhd yüzde seksen genetik. Adhd olmak için en önemli kriter belirli bir genin eksikliği. https://t.co/4ewt1uN3Lg
