Key Points

The study aims to evaluate the presence of the aggression impulsive/reactive (AIR) profile in a clinical sample of youth.
Reviewed medical records of patients ages 4 to 17 with behavior concerns.
Caregivers completed questionnaires assessing aggression, mania, depression, and hyperactivity.
Performed latent profile analysis on indicators representing aggression and related symptoms.
Four distinct profiles were identified, including varying levels of AIR and mood symptoms.
Younger males were more prevalent in the high AIR and hyperactivity-impulsivity group.
Findings suggest a correlation between high AIR and younger age of aggressive behavior onset.
