a

Models are all in survival framework and all control for age, age-squared, sex, cohorts, and int categories. Int categories have cut-off points of 1–5,6–10,11–15,....70–75 up to largest int available in dataset. Bivariate model assessed in Part I or II depending on the disorder. Multivariate models assessed in Part II sample; impulse disorders set to “No” in cases with age>44.

b

Group effect chisquare is for the multi-df tests to assess any difference between all the disorders, while the individual chi-squares only tests yes vs no for each disorder.
