The underlying trajectories leading to such brain-body co-occurrences are often unclear - are there direct causal relationships from one disorder to the other, or does the sharing of genetic and/or environmental risk factors lead to their occurring together more frequently or both? Our goal with this narrative review was to provide a conceptual synthesis of the associations between ADHD and non-mental disease across the lifespan. We discuss potential shared pathologic mechanisms, genetic background and treatments in co-occurring diseases. For those co-occurrences for which published studies with sufficient sample sizes exist, meta-analyses have been published by others and we discuss those in detail. We conclude that non-mental diseases are common in ADHD and vice versa and add to the disease burden of the patient across the lifespan. Insufficient attention to such co-occurring conditions may result in missed diagnoses and suboptimal treatment in the affected individuals.24 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Elsevier, 2022https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Trastorns per dèficit d'atenció amb hiperactivitat en els adultsAsmaObesitatMigranyaDiabetisEpilèpsiaAttention deficit disorder with hyperactivity in adultsAsthmaObesityMigraineDiabetesEpilepsyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7029542023-05-18info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
