Overview
The prevalence of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is estimated to be 5,000 per 100,000 (5%) children and 2,500 per 100,000 (2.5%) adults.[1] Boys are more commonly affected by ADHD than girls. The male to female ratio is 2 to 1.[2]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- The prevalence of ADHD in children is 5,000 per 100,000 (5%) of the overall population.[1]
- The prevalence of ADHD in adults is 2,500 per 100,000 (2.5%) of the overall population.[1] The prevalence of diagnosis is increasing in adults to 354 per 1000,000 in 2011[3].
Incidence
- The percentage of children age 4-17 years diagnosed with ADHD increased from 7.8 percent in 2003 to 11 percent in 2011.[4][5]
Age
- ADHD is usually first diagnosed in school-aged children. For an adult to be diagnosed with ADHD, the patient’s symptoms must have been present prior to the age of 12.[6] However, the average age at diagnosis is 7 years.[5]
Gender
- ADHD is more prevalent in males than in females. The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1.[2]
Race
- ADHD is observed in patients of all racial/ethnic backgrounds, but does appear to be most common in non-Hispanic Caucasians.[2]
