The first twelve columns show the prevalence of disorders in particular subpopulations (T-D- Toxoplasma-free, disorder-free, T-D+ Toxoplasma free, disorder positive, T+D-Toxoplasma-infected, disorder-free, T+D+Toxoplasma-infected, disorder positive) and the last two columns show Odds Ratio and significance (p-level) computed using logistic regression with toxoplasmosis, sex, and age as independent variables. The number of subjects reporting the results of a serological test for toxoplasmosis and providing the information about their mental health disorders was 3,800. The associations significant after the correction for multiple tests are printed in bold.
