Cumulative ADHD medication use and risk of type 2 diabetes in adults: a Swedish Register study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Little is known about the impact of cumulative attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication use on the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Objective

The objective is to examine the association between cumulative use of ADHD medication and risk of incident T2D.

Methods

A nested case-control study was conducted in a national cohort of individuals aged 18-70 years with incident ADHD (n=138 778) between 2007 and 2020 through Swedish registers. Individuals with incident T2D after ADHD were selected as cases (n=2355) and matched with up to five controls (n=11 681) on age at baseline, sex and birth year. Conditional logistic regression models examined the association between cumulative duration of ADHD medication use and T2D.
