“…Obesity is one of the most frequently reported comorbid medical conditions in adult ADHD. The prevalences of clinically diagnosed ADHD and suspected ADHD based on rating scales have been reported to be 10% to 32% in studies exploring adults with obesity or obesity treatment, mainly including female participants ( Alfonsson, Parling, & Ghaderi, 2012 ; Altfas, 2002 ; Docet, Larranaga, Fernandez Sastre, & García-Mayor, 2010 ; Fleming, Levy, & Levitan, 2005 ; Levy, Fleming, & Klar, 2009 ; Pagoto et al, 2010 ; Vogel et al, 2015 ). Similarly, in a Dutch study with 202 clinically assessed adult ADHD patients and 189 controls, 16.8% of the ADHD patients had BMI 30 to 39, compared with only 3.7% of the controls ( p < .001; Bijlenga, van der Heijden, et al, 2013 ).…”

Objective: To systematically review, synthesize, and appraise available evidence, connecting adult ADHD with somatic disease. Method: Embase, Psychinfo, and Medline databases were searched for studies published from 1994 to 2015 addressing adult ADHD and somatic comorbidity. Somatic conditions were classified according to International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) codes. Levels of evidence were graded as inconclusive, tentative, or well documented. Results: Most of the 126 studies included in the qualitative synthesis were small and of modest quality. Obesity, sleep disorders, and asthma were well-documented comorbidities in adult ADHD. Tentative evidence was found for an association between adult ADHD and migraine and celiac disease. In a large health registry study, cardiovascular disease was not associated with adult ADHD. Conclusion: There are few large systematic studies using standardized diagnostic criteria evaluating adult ADHD and somatic comorbidities. Significant associations are found between adult ADHD and several somatic diseases, and these are important to consider when assessing and treating either adult ADHD or the somatic diseases.

“…ADHD has been linked to an increased prevalence of smoking, which may partly account for this increased risk (Pomerleau, Downey, Stelson, & Pomerleau, 1995). Despite the paucity of research on MetSyn and ADHD, the relationship between obesity and ADHD has been investigated (Cortese, Ramos Olazagasti, et al, 2013; Docet, Larranaga, Fernandez Sastre, & Garcia-Mayor, 2010; Pagoto et al, 2009). Overall, the risk of obesity in ADHD for children and adults appears to be elevated, according to a recently published meta-analysis, which did control for comorbid affective disorders (Cortese et al, 2016).…”
