Sumario:Current studies demonstrate a comparably high prevalence of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in advanced age. Older people affected by ADHD suffer from a severe burden of psychiatric and somatic comorbidities as well as substantial impairment of social functioning and subjective well-being. The diagnostic differentiation from neurodegenerative diseases is particularly difficult in this age group. This narrative review summarizes the current knowledge about the epidemiology of ADHD in advanced age and possible relationships between ADHD and the risk for neurodegeneration. Furthermore, recommendations for diagnostics and treatment options of ADHD in advanced age are presented.
