Asia

[edit]

The estimated prevalence of childhood ADHD in Asia is under 5%, which is similar to its prevalence in South America, Europe, North America, and Oceania.[1] The estimated prevalence of adult ADHD is 25.66% in the South-East Asia Region and 9.67% in the Western Pacific Region.[2]

China

[edit]

Utilizing data from the WHO World Mental Health (WMH) Surveys, one study estimated the prevalence childhood ADHD in China (Shenzhen) to be 0.7% and the adult ADHD prevalence to be 1.8%.[3] This study also determined that for adults in China (Shenzhen) with existing ADHD, 62.8% had a history of childhood ADHD.[3] Another study utilizing systematic review estimated the prevalence of childhood ADHD in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan to be 6.3%, with the individual regions exhibiting prevalences of 6.5%, 6.4%, and 4.2% respectively.[4] Variability in the ADHD prevalences for children in China can be attributed to differences in study methodology, socioeconomics, and dates of data collection.[4]

India

[edit]

A systematic review with meta-analysis determined the prevalence of childhood ADHD in India to be 7.1%, with individual studies ranging from 1.30% to 28.9%.[5] Male children in India exhibited a slightly higher prevalence of 9.40% compared to 5.20% in female children.[5] Overall, the prevalence of childhood ADHD in India does not differ significantly from the global prevalence, but there may be additional stigma associated with mental disorders in India.[5]

South America

[edit]

The estimated prevalence of symptomatic adult ADHD in North and South America is 6.06%.[2] The estimated prevalence of childhood ADHD in South America is 11.8%, which is not significantly different from North America, Europe, Oceania, or Asia.[6][1] The childhood ADHD prevalences for Colombia, Peru, and Brazil are 1.2%, 0.8%, and 2.5% respectively. The adult ADHD prevalences for Colombia, Peru, and Brazil are 2.5%, 1.4%, and 5.9% respectively.[3]
