Genetic vulnerability to ADHD signals risk of Alzheimer'sdisease in old age MolPsychiatry
, and results of regular cognitive assessments over the course of six consecutive years. Crucially, researchers also had access to those patients' genome sequences.
While the study results are intriguing and indicate that the link between ADHD-PRS and Alzheimer's must be researched further, the scientists caution against overgeneralizing their findings and urge families to stay informed but calm. Additionally, more research is needed to determine whether interventions to correct ADHD can influence risk of Alzheimer's disease in the future.
