Abstract in brief

  • ADHD is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder, significantly impacting children's long-term health-related quality of life (HRQoL), though this area is less studied than functional and academic effects.
  • Research using data from 4,194 children aged 4 to 17 found that those with ADHD symptoms reported a significantly lower HRQoL, with internalizing and externalizing problems partially influencing this association.
  • Factors linked to poorer HRQoL included being female, having autism or other medical issues, and caregiver mental health struggles, while having multiple siblings positively affected HRQoL.
