Intellectual Quotient and Cognitive Indices in children with and without ADHD in the city of Tepatitlán de Morelos, Jalisco

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is between 5 and 8% of the child population. It was classified clinically by the presence of attention deficit, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Recent research will indicate the presence and the increase in time in school activities in the region of Los Altos de Jalisco, which points to the need to obtain a precise cognitive profile in this regard. With the previous objective, we describe the results of the Intelligence Scale for Children, Fourth Edition (WISC-IV), applied to children with ADHD and children without the disorder, including the range of 6-11 years of age, in a population total of 89 children, 44 with ADHD (49.4%) and 45 without ADHD (50.6%), of these, 62 (69.66%) correspond to the male sex and 27 (30.33%) are female, using statistical analyzes Levene for equality of variances, test for equality of means and Pearson's correlation coefficient (p). The results are not shown. The results are differentiated between the Work Memory Index (IMT), Perceptual Reasoning (IRP), Verbal Comprehension (ICV) and the Total Intellectual Coefficient (CIT). However, if it occurred (0.036 T <0.05). This result is significant to characterize the ADHD group with a cognitive level with a higher IVP score, unlike the group without ADHD. However, a significant index of the same index (IVP) was also identified in the correlation in the increase in age (closer to 11 years of the 6-11 range) in subjects with ADHD (0.006 p <0.01). , which is an important finding to identify a cognitive profile of the disorder in the region.
