Read the full article for more information, but briefly it says:
ADHD doesn’t cause dementia, but living with ADHD suggests that you may have a higher chance of developing dementia later in life.
The exact causes behind this are unknown, but experts believe there may be similar genetic pathways involved in both conditions.
Living with ADHD may also mean you have a higher chance of experiencing other medical conditions that make you more likely to develop dementia.
