Abstract in brief
- This study found that being an only child and owning pets like cats or dogs are both linked to a higher risk of developing ADHD in preschool children in China.
- Specifically, only children had about a 30% higher chance of ADHD, and children with pets at certain ages (especially between 1 and 3 years old) also showed increased ADHD risks.
- Interestingly, having pets at ages 1 to 3 seemed to lessen the negative impact of being an only child on ADHD risk, highlighting that timing of pet exposure might influence how these factors interact.]
