Explanation / Answer

Note: This response is in UK English, please paste the response to MS Word and you should be able to spot discrepancies easily. You may elaborate the answer based on personal views or your classwork if necessary. I chose ADHD as the basis of the response since it would affect some subjects that your teacher has mentioned above.

(Answer) Study – Correlation between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and sugar consumption, quality of diet, and dietary behaviour in school children by Yujeong Kim and Hyeja Chang

54 girls and 58 boys who were enrolled in a 5th grade class in Korea were the subjects of this study. Over the period of four months, data was collected in terms of the children’s sugar consumption and their behavioural patterns. These patterns were measured through questionnaires. One handed to the students and one to the teachers. The CATRS-10 scale of measurement which is widely used to check for ADHD symptoms was used in this case. CAN Pro 3.0 and BMI was used to analyse the food intake and the effects on the children’s physical fitness. SPSS software was finally used to categorise the students into two groups as those under risk and those who were not. This was calibrated through the Manel-Haenszel-Cochran test.

The subjects were studied on the basis of how often they got cranky, level of excitement and aggression and other such factors. Also, they belonged to families where the fathers consumed alcohol and smoked more often than the mother. Furthermore, they were from families where the fathers had white-collar jobs.

After a study based on all these aspects acting as catalysts, it was concluded that boys were more susceptible to ADHD than the girls. 8 boys and 1 girl were the children in the risk group. There wasn’t much difference in the family backgrounds of these children. However, the amount of smoking amongst fathers in this group seemed to be proportional to the level of jobs they possessed. Furthermore, the lack of daily nutrition in the risk group was significantly poor as compared to the group who did not particularly show symptoms of ADHD.

Importance of the study – Considering that the diets of little children all around the world are, unfortunately, changing to more of fast food than proper healthy home-cooked meals, is what makes this study important.

Furthermore, the future generations might lean towards poor emotional development and poorer cognition because of the sugar intake and poor brain development due to lack of foods rich in vitamins. This study also analyses the effect a possibly negligent or emotionally unavailable parent could have on a child. Such trends need to become obsolete with a more alert and compassionate outlook towards the lives of children. High pressure jobs tend to affect not only the employee, but also the members of the individual’s family. This is what makes this paper of a great importance and probably what prompted the researchers to pick this topic.

This paper clearly implies that poor parenting comes from having certain high-pressure jobs. This results in poor emotional attachment, increase in unhealthy food consumption, which in turn affects the child’s emotional and cognitive development.
