Sex Differences in Physical Disease Risk Associated with ADHD in Danish Children and Adolescents

This large Danish population study of over 800,000 individuals examined how ADHD diagnosis affects the risk of various physical diseases differently in males and females during childhood and adolescence. Results showed ADHD-diagnosed individuals had higher disease risk across most categories, with notable sex-specific patterns such as females having twice the risk of males for eye diseases when ADHD-diagnosed, contrary to general population patterns.
