Are Lewy Body Disease and Attention‐Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder linked?
Our data did not show a higher prevalence of childhood ADHD symptoms in people with PD, or that people with ADHD had increased LB markers. Our findings do not suggest that ADHD is an early stage or risk factor for LBD and there is no evidence that they are pathophysiologically linked.
