This figure shows a comparison of prevalence, with natural disaster exposure as reference, for a wide range of typical and non-typical trauma exposures.
🇮🇸Iceland, with the world's highest gender equality: New study of trauma among a representative sample of 28,000 adult women found that sexual, physical assaults were common. These stressors were associated with the highest prevalence of probable PTSD. https://t.co/A7tviBG0Uf
In this cross-sectional survey, the prevalence of life stressors ranged from 3.3% for war or armed conflict–related events to 66% for unwanted sexual experiences. Prevalence of probable PTSD was 16% but varied substantially across different stressor types.
Overall similar patterns for both sexes, incidence rates of most disorders peaked before age 20 (b). Bipolar disorder and schiz. peaked at age 20–30 (j,k). Stress-related disorders had a wide peak at 20–40 (d). Note the marked peak for depression at age 80-90 (b).
