Study Finds ADHD May Shorten Life Expectancy

According to a new study released by Cambridge University Press Thursday, people with ADHD have a shorter lifespan.

According to the survey, male participants with ADHD are likely to have a lifespan seven years shorter than their female counterparts. The survey found that female participants with ADHD are likely to live 8 years less than their counterparts.

The study’s authors stated in the implications section that “the evidence that people diagnosed with ADHD live shorter lives than should be is extremely worrying and highlights unmet needs that require immediate attention.”

People with ADHD are more prone to face adversity in various forms.

Researchers found that those diagnosed with ADHD may adopt health-adverse behaviors such as smoking and risk-taking, which can increase the chances of premature death.

The life-table method was used to calculate the life expectancy deficit of people with ADHD diagnosed using primary care data in the UK.
