Core Tip	Preterm birth significantly increases the risk of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, with those born prematurely before 32 weeks facing even higher vulnerability due to neurodevelopmental challenges. Conversely, higher maternal education levels correlate with reduced ADHD risk, particularly noted in studies from China where maternal education of more than 12 years lowered the risk significantly. The intersection of these factors compounds ADHD risk, emphasizing the need for early identification and targeted interventions. Healthcare strategies should include enhanced prenatal care and parent education programs, while policy efforts should focus on improving maternal education to mitigate ADHD risks effectively. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies and underlying mechanisms to refine preventive strategies.
