Objective: To determine if attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a factor of low academic performance. Material and methods: An observational, analytical cross-sectional cohort study was carried out. The study population consisted of 455 human medicine students of cycles VIII, IX, X and XI of the Antenor Orrego Private University of Trujillo in the period January - June 2019, who were surveyed, evaluating the variables and the test for ADHD in adults (self-reported questionnaire for adult ADHD screening of 6 questions-Version 1.1), according to selection criteria, were divided into 2 groups: students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder who presented low academic performance and students who do not have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and have low academic performance, applying the odds ratio, and the chi square statistical test. Results: 455 surveys were collected, between the ages of 21 and 35, and we found 17.2% of university students with ADHD associated with poor academic performance and 7.7 of students with ADHD, but not associated with low academic performance. In addition, multivariate analysis shows that age, sex, depression, and anxiety are variables that influence low academic performance. The ratio between students with low performance versus non-low performance is 2.49 times higher in students with ADHD compared to students without ADHD. In addition, appreciating a significant difference (p = <0.05). This association is statistically significant. Conclusions: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a factor in the low academic performance of Human Medicine students.
