A retrospective, population-based, cross-sectional study compared rates of physical activity among children with and without an attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis. This study evaluated data from the 2016 National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH). The parent-/caregiver-reported NSCH is conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. The 2016 survey included data on 50,212 children; the present study included children aged six to 17 years. Final analysis included 34,675 children who had complete data available on ADHD diagnosis.
