Hazard ratios calculated using Cox proportional hazards models with age as the time scale.

b

Hazard ratios calculated using Cox proportional hazards models with age as the time scale and adjusted using inverse probability weights derived from a logistic regression model including all 20 chronic conditions present at baseline (index date), years of education (≤12, 13–16, >16, unknown), race (white vs nonwhite), and age and calendar year at baseline (continuous). These adjustments were performed separately in each stratum to maximize the balance at baseline. Overall interactions by age (18–35, 36–50, >50 years) were assessed for each mental health condition: depression P=0.002, anxiety P=0.28, substance abuse disorders P=0.20, dementia P=0.81, and schizophrenia and psychosis P=0.68.
