Abstract
– Hyperactivity in children was significantly associated with the occurrence of major injuries affecting the face and/or teeth. Other important risk factors included being male, from lower social class and single‐parent households, and scoring high for conduct disorder. The behavioural risk factors were significantly more common in children living in families receiving benefits, lower social classes and non‐nuclear families.Keywords
