  1. This table shows the baseline characteristics of the patients with anxiety and stress-related disorders and their matched unexposed individuals.
  2. IRQ interquartile range.
  3. aThe Swedish cohort was presented only in third age group. The complete Swedish cohort was presented in Supplementary Table 13.
  4. bAt most 10 participants who were alive, retained in the cohort and free of anxiety and stress-related disorders at the corresponding index date were individually matched to each individual with anxiety and stress-related disorders based on sex, and year of birth.
