Unraveling the phenotypic expression of ADHD symptoms in middle- and older-aged adults: insights from confirmatory factor analysis of the US Health and Retirement Study
These results imply a hierarchical representation of ADHD symptoms in middle- and older-aged adults consisting of a general factor at the apex with neurocognitive and genetic correlates and underneath symptom factors of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Collectively, this model offers a novel framework to study the mechanisms of ADHD symptoms in middle- and older-aged adults and points to treatment targets.
