Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Assess the dietary intake of children aged 6-12 years by means of a 24-hour recall and 3-day food record and asses the nutrient status of Vitamin B6, serum ferritin, serum zinc and serum copper of the same children by means of standard laboratory assessments.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

* To document the use of vitamin and vitamin-mineral supplements
* To determine the percent consumption of low nutrient density (LND) foods
* To compare the dietary intake of ADHD children with the established standards of the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs)
* To compare the dietary intake of children with ADHD to the dietary recommendations of Canada's Food Guide for Healthy Eating
* To determine whether dietary intake is moderated by drug treatment
* To assess the pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP), serum ferritin, serum zinc, and serum copper status of ADHD by standard laboratory blood test
* to measure height and weight in ADHD children
