        Your quote doesn’t say they calculate the result globally. It’s estimated based on the results in Carolina. They say estimate because the don’t have the data to say it is true.

        ADHD administrative prevalence (based on rates of diagnosis and/or prescriptions) in children and adolescents in the UK has been estimated to fall between 0.2 and 0.9% since the mid-2000s (39). These rates remain below community prevalence estimates in the UK estimated at around 2.2% in 1999 and 2005 (55, 56), with more recent estimates of 1.6% in 2017, based on the more restrictive ICD-10 Hyperkinetic Disorder criteria (57). Administrative prevalence of adult ADHD in the UK stands at around 0.1% (40), far below even some of the lowest prevalence rates documented in adults (9).

        This suggests about 1% of the UK population has ADHD and isn’t diagnosed. The would be more than 600,000 people.
