a
Refers to participants diagnosed with at least PTSD and possibly a comorbid condition. bPrevalence estimates for the full population are provided as context for comparison to estimates for women and men. cMen serve as the reference category for all reported ORs in Table 1. For conditions where odds are greater for men than for women, the reference category is reversed for values reported in the text of the Results section. dOther anxiety disorder other than panic or phobic disorders.
