A common mental health issue could take years off your life, new research has revealed.
People with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were found to live shorter lives than those who were not diagnosed, according to a study published in The British Journal of Psychiatry.
Researchers from University College London analyzed the health data of 30,029 U.K. adults with ADHD, then compared it to 300,390 non-ADHD participants, a press release noted.

They determined that among men with ADHD, life expectancy was shortened by 4.5 to 9 years. For women with ADHD, it was shortened by 6.5 to 11 years.
While the researchers did not look at potential causes for the shortened lifespan, they shared some theories.
«Based on other research, we think that likely reasons are to do with unmet support needs around mental health, risky behaviors and addictive behaviors, all of which are higher in people with ADHD and can lead to suicide and addic..

Bill Gates said he believes he would have been diagnosed with autism if he were growing up today.
The Microsoft co-founder and tech billionaire, 69, made the revelation in his upcoming memoir, «Source Code: My Beginnings.»
In an excerpt of the book, which was published in The Wall Street Journal, Gates wrote about how his parents «struggled with their complicated son» during his childhood in Washington State.
«If I were growing up today, I probably would be diagnosed on the autism spectrum,» Gates wrote.

«During my childhood, the fact that some people’s brains process information differently from others wasn’t widely understood.»
The term «neurodivergent,» widely used today, had not yet been coined while he was growing up, Gates noted.
«My parents had no guideposts or textbooks to help them grasp why their son became so obsessed with certain projects, missed social cues and could be rude and inappropriate without see..

«He's right in the middle of a really important issue in this country, and it's why he's going to get in,» Siegel predicted.
«We are not healthy here. We are a sick society.»
According to Siegel, 45% of U.S. adults and 20% of children are obese, which can lead to diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
The MAHA agenda focuses on nutrition as a key element of creating a healthier nation.

Water is known to be a great resource for good health, but sparkling water could also offer unique benefits.
A new report, published in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention and Health, suggests that carbonated water may support weight loss by enhancing glucose uptake and metabolism in red blood cells.
The researchers aimed to analyze the physiological effects of carbonated water, as it has been found to induce satiety (feelings of fullness) and gastric motility (movement of food through the body), both of which could reduce hunger.
KELLY RIPA SAYS QUITTING ALCOHOL HAD A SURPRISING EFFECT ON HER WEIGHT
In analyzing a study from 2004, the team found that carbonated water may support weight loss by converting to HCO3 – a byproduct of metabolism – in red blood cells and increasing energy production.
But the effect of this is «so small,» the researchers concluded, that it is «difficult to expect weight loss effects solely from the CO2 in carbonated water.»
Therefore, the researchers noted that sparkli..

While red meat is a rich source of protein, iron and other nutrients, a recent study linked it to an increased risk of dementia — but some doctors are casting doubt on the claim.
Researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Mass General Brigham found that daily consumption of certain amounts of processed red meats increased dementia risk by 13%, according to a press release.
It was also tied to a 14% higher risk of developing subjective cognitive decline and faster brain aging.

«The findings did not really surprise us,» lead study author Yuhan Li, a researcher from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, told Fox News Digital.
«The results are generally in line with our hypothesis, showing that a higher intake of red meat, particularly processed red meat, is associated with an increased risk of developing dementia and worse cognition.»
The increased risk was seen in people who ate..

People who have had COVID-19 are more likely to develop chronic fatigue syndrome, officially known as myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
That’s according to a study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine earlier this month, which found that 4.5% of people infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID, developed chronic fatigue.
In comparison, only 0.6% of study participants who did not have COVID developed the second condition.

The researchers determined that cases of ME/CFS were 15 times higher than pre-pandemic levels.
«As a researcher dedicated to understanding how viral infections lead to chronic illness, I suspected from the beginning of the pandemic that SARS-CoV2 could trigger ME/CFS, so these results are not surprising,» said lead study author Suzanne D. Vernon, PhD, from the Bateman Horne Center in Salt Lake City.
