A study shows UK adults with ADHD have a life expectancy 6.78 years lower than the general population, underscoring the need for improved healthcare support.

On average, women diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder died almost nine years earlier, while men died almost seven years earlier, the U.K. study found.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has been found to be an intervening factor in terms of shorter life expectancy among diagnosed adults. In a research published in the British Journal of Psychiatry,
