A recent study involving over 187,000 adults found that ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is associated with a significantly increased risk of dementia or mild cognitive impairment. The observational study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, found that those with ADHD had nearly twice the rate of cognitive impairment (6.7%) compared to those without (3.4%). After adjusting for age, gender, and other health conditions, the risk was over four times higher. The study also found that those with the highest genetic susceptibility to ADHD had a 35% greater risk of dementia.
