Actually there is some research being done regarding a possible link between
people who are ADHD and eventual development of Alzheimer's.

I wait with interest for the results in about 60 years time then :-)

Research and conclusions are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

What background do you have to advance this theory?
I believe most caretakers fight posting their changing suspicions about
what caused of this dreadful disease to our LOs.
One week, its a blow to the head then heredity, lack of vitamin E, and
on & on it goes..
I wish you luck in your quest BUT=== why did you not say who is
sponsoring this "pilot study"???

ADHD is relatively recent, maybe 20 years old tops? ADHD is also entirely
subjective, even more so than Az. Chances of proving a link are tenuous at
best and impossible in our lifetimes and its hard to see what you'd do even
if there was a 100% link except say 'tough sh.t'.

Too true. My son, who is now in his mid 30's was diagnosed with dyslexia
and ADD, which was one of the earlier forms of these kinds of disorders to
be recognized. There is no way it has been recognized and documented long
enough to make a connection with Alzheimers, as far as I know.
