Life expectancy and years of life lost for adults with diagnosed ADHD in the UK: matched cohort study
Reference Diallo, Pelletier, Vasiliadis, Rochette, Vincent and Palardy27 Data from the 1958 British birth cohort indicate that being in the top 2% for ‘overreaction’ in childhood (i.e. teacher-report of hostility, restlessness and anxiety about acceptance) was associated with 1.6 times the likelihood of mortality by aged 46, relative to those with a mean level of these traits. Estimates of years-of-life lost are important because they highlight the impact of unmet needs and health inequalities, and are interpretable to a general audience, as evidenced by their widespread use in advocacy efforts and the mainstream press (e.g. Reference Clegg, Aggerholm and Benjamin29).
