A decades-long UK cohort study following 10,930 people born in 1970 found that children who showed more attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) traits at age 10 had higher odds of multiple self-reported physical health conditions and physical health–related disability by age 46. The research, published in JAMA Network Open, suggests smoking, psychological distress and higher body mass index partly help explain the link, and highlights the need for better identification and support across adulthood.

These patterns align with genetic activity involved in neural development.
