The higher OR the higher risk per each year later the DSD diagnosis was made. Healthy lifestyle was compared to those with not having a healthy lifestyle. Bold indicates P < 0.05. No associations were found with waist/hip ratio, suicide attempts, renal and gastrointestinal disorders or malignancy (except females with age at diagnosis 1.04 (1.01–1.08), P = 0.0057) (not shown).
*Except the DSD.
CV, cardiovascular; OR, odds ratio.
