Prevalence of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in older adults in the Netherlands
Open accessAbstract
Background: Little is known about the prevalence of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among older adults. Aims: To estimate the prevalence of the syndromatic and symptomatic DSM-IV ADHD diagnosis in older adults in The Netherlands. Method: Data were used from the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (LASA). At baseline, 1494 participants were screened with an ADHD questionnaire and in 231 respondents a structured diagnostic interview was administered. The weighted prevalence of ADHD was calculated. Results: The estimated prevalence rate of syndromatic ADHD in older adults was 2.8%; for symptomatic ADHD the rate was 4.2%. Younger elderly adults (60–70 years) reported significantly more ADHD symptoms than older elderly adults (71–94 years). Conclusions: This is the first epidemiological study on ADHD in older persons. With a prevalence of 2.8% the study demonstrates that ADHD does not fade or disappear in adulthood and that it is a topic very much worthy of further study.

The low number of ADHD diagnoses may indicate that awareness of ADHD in older adults is a recent phenomenon.
“This may indicate that awareness of the possible existence of ADHD not only in children and young adults but also in older adults is a recent phenomenon”
From Older Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders in Sweden: A Register Study of Diagnoses, Psychiatric Care Utilization and Psychotropic Medication of 601 Individuals (2018) · cites this paper as Michielsen et al. 2012
The introductory passage says ADHD was once thought to occur only in childhood and that little is known about it in old age, which supports the suggestion that recognition in older adults is relatively recent. It does not report a low number of ADHD diagnoses or link that number to awareness. (LLM, conf=0.78)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredADHD persists into adulthood and even into old age.
“it is now agreed that the disorder persists into adulthood (e.g., [2, 3]), and even into old age [4, 5].”

In adults, research has suggested a nearly balanced gender ratio for ADHD.
“In adults, research has suggested a nearly balanced gender ratio, which accounts for adult ADHD in general and for older ADHD patients in particular (Dobrosavljevic et al. 2020; Michielsen et al. 2012; Song et al. 2021).”

A longitudinal study from the Netherlands reported an adjusted prevalence of 2.8% (95% CI = 0.86, 4.64) in adults aged 60 and older, after a two-phase procedure of screening and a diagnostic interview of current and childhood symptoms.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
