Weighted odds ratios (ORs) for comorbidity between disorders based on Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children (DISC) interviews in 1,154 selected children to represent odds ratios in the full population-based sample (N = 6,172). CI indicates confidence interval. Upper triangular area values represent odds ratios for disorders without the requirement of impairment and lower triangular values (boldface) represent odds ratios for disorders with mild impairment
