Girls from a deprived background who are diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be more likely to experience multiple long-term health conditions, or multimorbidity, in adulthood, according to new research.
The study, led by the University of Glasgow, also showed that women who had both a childhood ADHD diagnosis and a background of socioeconomic deprivation were more than twice as likely to develop multimorbidity compared to those without ADHD.
