“…27 A threefactor solution provided a slightly better fit to the data than the two-factor solution for the DSM-IV original set of 18 symptoms and a more pronounced better fit for the DSM-5 set of 22 symptoms. However, the standard two-factor solution fits sufficiently well in both cases.…”

The DSM-5 ADHD and Disruptive Behaviors Work Group proposed two major changes for diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults: (1) inclusion of four new impulsivity symptoms and (2) reduction in the number of symptoms required for assigning an ADHD diagnosis. In this case-control study, the performance of these modifications was assessed in a clinical sample of 133 adult subjects (68 ADHD cases and 65 non-ADHD control subjects). The proposed new impulsivity symptoms for adults do not improve ADHD diagnosis enough to overcome potential negative effects of changing the criteria. However, fewer symptoms than the six-of-nine threshold required by DSM-IV provided the best cutoff point for identifying adults who are impaired.

“…The chronic and prevalent aspect of attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a neurodevelopmental disorder, affects about 8-12% of children at school age (6-12 years) over most countries and ethnicities (Bailey et al 2010;Matos et al 2009;Pastor and Reuben 2008; but see also Bauermeister et al 2010), and 5-7% of adults (Kessler et al 2006). For example, Amiri et al (2010) described a prevalence rate, in elementary school children (mean age 9.39 ± 1.27 years), of 9.7, the total number of cases of the disease in the population at a given time.…”

The heterogeneous, chronic, and proliferating aspect of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and comorbidities covers heritability, cognitive, emotional, motor, and everyday behavioral domains that place individuals presenting the condition at some considerable disadvantage. Disruption of "typical developmental trajectories" in the manifestation of gene-environment interactive predispositions implies that ADHD children and adolescents may continue to perform at defective levels as adults with regard to academic achievement, occupational enterprises, and interpersonal relationships, despite the promise of pharmacotherapeutic treatments. Physical exercise provides a plethora of beneficial effects against stress, anxiety, depression, negative affect and behavior, poor impulse control, and compulsive behavior concomitant with improved executive functioning, working memory and positive affect, as well as improved conditions for relatives and care-givers. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, an essential element in normal brain development that promotes health-associated behaviors and quality-of-life, though reduced in ADHD, is increased markedly by the intervention of regular physical exercise. Functional, regional, and biomarker deficits, as well as hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal disruptions, have been improved through regular and carefully applied exercise programs. In view of the complications involving ADHD with co-morbidities, such as obesity, the influence of regular physical exercise has not been found negligible. Physical exercise bestows a propensity for eventual manifestation of "redifferentiated" developmental trajectories that may equip ADHD adults with a prognosis that is more adaptive functionally, independent of the applications of other therapeutic agents and treatments.

“…As recently reviewed by Willcutt and colleagues, an extensive factor analytic literature involving parent, teacher, and self-report ratings of over 60,000 children has provided strong support for distinguishing inattentive (IN) from hyperactive-impulsive (HI) behaviors (Willcutt et al, 2012). The distinction between IN and HI symptoms is also evident from studies conducted in at least 15 different countries, increasing the generalizability of this conclusion (Bauermeister, Canino, Polanczyk, & Rohde, 2010). …”

This study evaluated the fit and criterion validity of a recently proposed bi-factor structure for ADHD symptoms. Participants included N=1093 children, drawn from an ongoing prospective longitudinal study, whose ADHD symptoms were rated by parents and teachers when children were in 1st grade. The criterion validity of the bi-factor model was established using a range of school-based outcomes that included treatment utilization, teacher perceptions of the need for treatment, academic functioning, and peer and teacher relationship quality. Results indicated that a bi-factor model parameterization provided an equally good fit to parent, teacher, and combined reports of ADHD symptoms as did traditional 1-, 2-, and 3-factor. However, in contrast to traditional models, the bi-factor parameterization acknowledged both the unity and diversity of ADHD symptoms. The general ADHD latent factor explained the vast majority of the observed variation in every symptom. Whereas the general ADHD latent factor was significantly associated with all 15 outcomes, the specific Inattentive factor explained unique variation in 9 (primarily the academically-oriented) outcomes and the specific Hyperactive-Impulsive factor explained unique variation in 2 outcomes. The general ADHD factor was more strongly correlated with each of the observed ADHD symptom scores (total, inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive) than was either specific factor. Results are discussed with respect to how changes in the conceptualization of the factor structure correspond to recent changes to the diagnostic criteria for ADHD, as well as whether/how individual differences in inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity might be used to differentiate children who are diagnosed with ADHD.
