^aOR were estimated by discrete time survival models controlling for age and sex as fixed covariates and person-year, marital status and education as time-varying covariates

^bOR were estimated by discrete time survival models controlling for age and sex as fixed covariates and person-year, marital status, education, any mood, any anxiety and any substance DSM-IV disorders as time-varying covariates. Any mood includes major depressive disorder w/hierarchy and dysthymia; any substance includes both alcohol and drug abuse and dependence; any anxiety includes panic disorder, agoraphobia without panic disorder, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder

p-values were computed by the Wald chi-square test
