All adjustments include conscription testing centre and year of examination. Smoking and risky alcohol intake were measured at conscription. The reference group in each case consists of men who were not diagnosed with the disorder in question.

There were too few cases of schizophrenia (n=10) or bipolar disorder (n=1) for separate analysis
