b Proportional hazards are adjusted for all variables in Table 2, as well as for comorbidity, indicated by a dichotomous variable taking the value of 0 for no other disorder and 1 for the presence of 1 or more additional disorders (data not shown). The model for any disorder was not adjusted for comorbidity. The time scale was years of age after 30. Data on diagnosis were missing for 579 individuals who were too ill or cognitively impaired to respond to questions or whose interviews were cut short for various reasons.
