Study links ADHD to higher dementia risk
Qazinform
A study finds that adults with ADHD have a higher risk of developing dementia or mild cognitive impairment later in life, with those having the highest genetic susceptibility facing a 35% increased risk. The research, which analyzed data from over 187,000 participants, showed a 4.6-fold higher rate of cognitive impairment in individuals with ADHD, though the link was somewhat weakened when accounting for other factors. The study highlights the need for further research and targeted care for older adults with ADHD.
