Just like a cake in the oven, children born a little early – before 39 weeks of pregnancy – are more likely to have symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It’s as if they came out of the oven slightly underbaked! While birth before 37 weeks’ gestation has known links to hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention, this study suggests that even babies born just a little bit early may face an increased risk of developing ADHD. It’s like taking a cake out of the oven too soon – it might not be as fully developed and may need a few more minutes to reach its full potential. The study highlights the importance of understanding the influence of gestational age on children’s neurodevelopmental outcomes, and it raises questions about the potential long-term effects of being born prematurely. To learn more about the fascinating research behind this connection between premature birth and ADHD risk, check out the full article!
