Does a person with ADD have a less likely chance of getting Alzheimer's then someone without it?

Asked by Sakata (3347points) February 2nd, 2009

I asked this question a few years ago to an ER nurse with a masters degree and she didn’t know the answer. She said that, as far as she knew, nobody had done a study on this. So…

If Alzheimer’s is most commonly found to affect people with less active brains, then would someone with ADD have a less likely chance of getting the disease because of their overactive brain?
