Over the five-year period, the proportion of children aged 3 and younger getting treated rose from one in 178 among children born in 2001 to one in 108 for those born in 2005 — a 66% increase.
Much of the increase in diagnosis occurred among boys, which increased by 72% from 2001 to 2005, compared to about 39% among girls, the investigators found.
