In 6-7-year-old children with ADHD, the content of extremely important elements for the development of this syndrome: Pb, Zn, Cu, Mn in blood plasma was determined. It was studied whether the place of permanent residence (city, village) affects the content of the mentioned elements. The consistency of the obtained data with the data of children who do not have signs of behavioral disorders or attention deficit was determined. In all studied children (who had ADHD or did not have behavioral disorders or signs of attention deficit) deficiency of Zn and Mn content was detected. Cu deficiency was detected only in children with ADHD who lived permanently in the village.
