Abstract

The work was carried out using a verbal communication method of psychological research, the participants of which were minors 12–17 years old both with signs of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and without this pathology, in order to identify the characteristics of their aggressive behavior, taking into account lifestyle risk factors for the subsequent justification of medical prevention measures. Statistically significant differences were established in the prevalence of aggressive and hostile reactions in the study groups with lower values in the group of healthy respondents and higher – among children and adolescents undergoing inpatient treatment according to the profile of behavioral disorders. In the study participants with signs of ADHD, the pathology of the circulatory and digestive systems was more often noted than among respondents without signs of hyperactivity and tendency to deviant behavior, and the presence of aggressive behavior models significantly increases the risk of developing the above diseases. A high proportion of children and adolescents who consume alcoholic beverages has been established. At the same time, the risk of physically aggressive behavior is 1.16 times higher against the background of alcohol-containing products consumption and the elimination of this risk factor makes it possible to reduce the likelihood of physical aggression by 13.8%.
