Association between childhood ADHD problems and premature mortality: identifying modifiable cardiovascular mechanisms in a UK population cohort

CONCLUSIONS: Childhood ADHD problems are associated with a higher risk of premature mortality by age 58. This risk seems to be mainly explained by two potentially modifiable cardiovascular risk factors: obesity and smoking. These risks should be prioritized for preventative interventions to reduce the risk of premature mortality in those with a history of ADHD.
