AB  - The key feature of salutogenesis is that good health can be directly sustained by 
      positive factors. The Sense of Coherence (SOC) scale was developed by Antonovsky 
      as a measure related to the concept of salutogenesis including aspects of 
      comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness. AIM: The aim was to 
      investigate whether Sense of Coherence can serve as a salutogenetic factor 
      modifying the long-term development of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder 
      (ADHD) Symptoms. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Twin study of Child and Adolescent 
      Development (TCHAD) is a longitudinal study of all twin pairs born in Sweden 
      between May 1985 and December 1986. The present project is a sub-sample of 312 
      individuals (135 boys and 177 girls). At 16 years of age, the young persons and 
      their parents were interviewed with K-SADS especially symptoms of ADHD. The young 
      person also completed the SOC questionnaire. At 21 years of age, the young person 
      completed a questionnaire about symptoms of ADHD. FINDINGS:   Higher (worse) ADHD 
      scores at 16 years of age were associated with higher (worse) ADHD scores at 21 
      years of age. However, this relationship was stronger for lower (worse) SOC. A 
      higher (better) SOC at 16 years was associated with lower (better) ADHD at 21 
      years and this relationship was stronger for higher (worse) ADHD at 16 years. 
      CONCLUSION: A high Sense of Coherence in adolescence was a protective factor for 
      the long-term development of ADHD.
