#AI reads Urine# Urinary Metabolic Biomarkers of Attentional Control in Children With Attention-­Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Published 09 July, 2025

This article investigates the urinary metabolic biomarkers of attentional control in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. By conducting a virtual reality continuous performance test on 83 school-aged children (37 with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and 46 typical controls) and analyzing their urine samples, the study identifies five data-driven attentional control subgroups. Among them, the attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder-impulsive and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder-slow processing subgroups show distinct behavioral differences. The former exhibits abnormalities in urinary metabolites such as 3-indoxylsulfate and N-phenylacetylglycine. Additionally, machine learning models combining metabolic and behavioral data demonstrate higher classification accuracy than those using behavioral data alone. These findings provide new directions for the precise diagnosis and personalized intervention of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
