Abstract
We investigated how ADHD and obesity impact the psychosocial functioning of a diverse sample of college students. Individuals with High ADHD/Low BMI and High ADHD/High BMI had significantly greater psychosocial impairment than those with Low ADHD/High BMI or Low ADHD/Low BMI. ADHD should be a target for intervention.
