“…Our literature review was able to identify 14 studies that used LCA to describe the structure of ADHD symptoms in a given population (Acosta et al, 2008;Althoff et al, 2006;Hudziak et al, 1998;Lubke et al, 2007;Neuman et al, 2001;Neuman et al, 2005;Neuman et al, 1999;Rohde ADHD ACROSS CULTURES et al, 2001;Todd et al, 2001;Volk, Henderson, Neuman, & Todd, 2006;Volk, Neuman, & Todd, 2005). As reported for factor analyses, the integration of findings is extremely difficult because investigations were conducted in samples from different age ranges, proportion of boys=girls and nationalities, using different information sources, and approaches related to the inclusion of comorbidities in analyses.…”

We examined the phenotypic expression of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) across cultures by assessing the factor/latent class structure of its core symptoms. We conducted a systematic review of the literature published from January 1987 to November 2008 using Medline and PsycINFO. We systematically reviewed 2,511 article abstracts, and 48 of these abstracts were included in this review. Research with school-age children from 15 countries including different samples, informants, and rating instruments supported a two-factor ADHD model consisting of inattention and combined hyperactivity and impulsivity. This model was not supported for preschool children. Cross-cultural equivalence for the two-factor model was suggested in some studies. Latent class analyses using parental data and more recent approaches like factor mixture modeling are generally consistent with factor analyses. These findings argue in favor of a cross-cultural validity of the syndrome. The implications of these findings for further research and classificatory systems in mental health like the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.) are discussed.

“…Under these diagnostic systems, individuals are classified as being affected if they meet a specific number of criteria. Because of uncertainty regarding the genetic validity of DSM-IV ADHD subtypes, an alternative method of classifying subjects, based on underlying or latent classes, has been proposed as having greater power to dissect genetically relevant ADHD subphenotypes [10,11]. Latent class analyses (LCAs) have an advantage over classical dimensional methods in that additional parameters can describe the relationship between the observed and one or more discrete unobservable variables.…”

“…In contrast to traditional factor analysis, factors need not be rotated to be interpretable; variables can be continuous, categorical (nominal or ordinal) or counts or any combination of these; and the normality assumption demanded by classical multivariate analyses is not required [12]. LCAs applied to parent reports of ADHD symptoms from rating scales have repeatedly yielded six to eight clusters or classes underlying the overall ADHD phenotype across several cultures, in contrast to the three fixed subtypes codified by DSM-IV ADHD [10,11]. These observed latent classes typically include the three DSM-IV defined subtypes of ADHD, but they also include classes of individuals who do not meet full DSM-IV ADHD criteria.…”

New findings suggest that attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common behavioral variant associated with a mental condition. ADHD prevalence reaches figures of 18% in populations worldwide. Furthermore, genetic variants conferring susceptibility to develop ADHD are not rare but very frequent and eventually totally fixed in some populations. These patterns of evolution can be associated with the fact that this behavioral trait had provided selective advantage. However, this behavioral trait is now under scrutiny because of new emerging social necessities. Recent molecular and clinical evidence supports Thom Hartmann's Hunter-Farmer theory, reaffirming that ADHD might be an anachronic behavioral trait.

Aufmerksamkeitsstörungen sind re lativ häufig, als Ursache kann in der überwiegenden Zahl der Fälle Ver erbung angenommen werden. Da es im Verlauf oft zu Begleiterkran kungen kommt und sie mit einem er höhten Risiko für Drogenmissbrauch sowie einer ungünstigen Prognose hinsichtlich der Ausbildung einher gehen, kommt der frühen Diagnose und Klassifikation entscheidende Be deutung zu. Die Differenzierung zwi schen Aufmerksamkeitskraft und Aufmerksamkeitssteuerungsdefizit ist für die Wahl der Therapiemethode entscheidend, in Frage kommt neben Verhaltenstherapie und neuropsy chologisch fundiertem Training bei schwereren Formen auch eine medi kamentöse Behandlung. Die Prävalenzangaben für Aufmerksamkeitsstörungen schwanken zwischen 4,6 und 15,8% (. Tab. 1). Jungen sind 2-bis 4-mal häufiger betroffen als Mädchen [5, 10, 16, 19]. Es liegen aber auch Studien vor, nach denen keine Geschlechtsunterschiede bestehen [4]; am häufigsten werden Prävalenzangaben um 7% berichtet. Die Auftretenswahrscheinlichkeit ist für den Vorschulbereich sehr hoch und sinkt mit dem Jugendalter [11, 20]. Als eine der wesentlichen Ursachen kann bei etwa 78% der Betroffenen Vererbung angenommen werden [12]. Im Verlauf der Erkrankungen kann es zu einer Reihe von Begleiterkrankungen kommen. Während im Grundschulalter bis zu 50% der betroffenen Kinder auch ein oppositionelles Verhalten, etwa 23% eine Angststörung [2, 24] und gehäuft Schulschwierigkeiten zeigen, weisen Kinder mit Aufmerksamkeitsstörung zu 11% auch eine Dyskalkulie auf [21]. Im Jugendalter wird als komorbide Störung eine bipolare Erkrankung [23] genannt. Das erhöhte Risiko für Drogenmissbrauch und psychiatrische Erkrankungen sowie eine ungünstige Schulprognose verdeutlichen die Notwendigkeit einer frühen Diagnosestellung und wirksamen Behandlung.
