“…Two large-scale studies of rather young samples find no gender differences (Ford et al, 2003;Costello et al, 1996), and female gender might only increase the risk for SD after puberty, as seen in MDD (Angold and Worthman, 1993;Costello et al, 2011;Oldehinkel and Bouma, 2011;Thapar et al, 2012). This is supported by adult studies of SD, which generally report higher rates in women than in men (Judd et al, 1994;Ayuso-Mateos et al, 2010;Cuijpers, 2004;Meeks et al, 2011).…”
