Table 4.
Comparison of HRQoL values between children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder who do not engage in physical activity and those who do using the KS9 and MAPPING CHU9D variables.
| Variables | Do not Engage in Physical Activity (N = 72) |
Do Engage in Physical Activity (N = 424) |
p * |
|---|---|---|---|
| KS9 | |||
| Median (IR) | 4.44 (0.56) | 4.61 (0.55) | 0.003 |
| Mean (SD) | 4.37 (0.45) | 4.54 (0.39) | |
| MAPPING CHU9D | |||
| Median (IR) | 0.75 (0.10) | 0.78 (0.08) | 0.002 |
| Mean (SD) | 0.76 (0.07) | 0.78 (0.06) |
* Mann–Whitney U for two independent samples for p = 0.05. KS9: derived variable for the HRQoL (values 1–5). MAPPING CHU9D: derived variable that estimates the HRQoL (values 0–1). Do not engage in physical activity: value 1 in the PA variable (frequency of physical activity). Do engage in physical activity: values 2–4 in PA variable (frequency of physical activity).
