![]() Results: Participants with ADHD showed poorer performances than controls in episodic memory and executive function with large effect-sizes. ![]() Mean scores in neuropsychological tasks and behavioral scales were compared across groups. Methods: A total of 107 older participants (41 controls 40 MCI and 26 ADHD mean age = 67.60 ± 7.50 years mean schooling = 15.14 ± 2.77 years 65.4% females) underwent clinical, cognitive, and behavioral assessments by a multidisciplinary team at the Memory Clinic, D'Or Institute for Research and Education, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This cross-sectional study aims to assess cognitive and behavioral differences between older subjects with ADHD and MCI. This phenomenon may mimic neurodegenerative disorders, in particular Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). It has been hypothesized that age-related cognitive decline may overlap with preexisting deficits in older ADHD patients, leading to increased problems to manage everyday-life activities. 3Department of Psychiatry and Forensic Medicine, Institute of Psychiatry, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazilīackground: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a highly prevalent neurodevelopmental condition, which may be associated with life-enduring cognitive dysfunction. ![]() 2Department of Speech and Hearing Pathology, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.1D'Or Institute For Research and Education, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.Felippe Mendonca 1 † Felipe Kenji Sudo 1 * † Gustavo Santiago-Bravo 1 ‡ Natalia Oliveira 1 ‡ Naima Assuncao 1 ‡ Fernanda Rodrigues 2 ‡ Rejane Soares 1 ‡ Victor Calil 1 ‡ Gabriel Bernardes 1 ‡ Pilar Erthal 1 ‡ Claudia Drummond 2 § Fernanda Tovar-Moll 1 § Paulo Mattos 1,3 §
