291 individuals were excluded due to being under 18 years of age. In total, 10776 individuals were included.

A. Proportions of how many of men and women with a psychiatric comorbidity had their GD diagnosis before, after or concurrently with the psychiatric comorbidity, represented as proportions of the total population who had a GD diagnosis and a specific psychiatric comorbidity. M stands for males, F females. p value represents statistical differences between women and men, asterisks mark statistically significant values. B. Different types of prescriptions and whether it was more common for them to be prescribed before, after, or concurrently with a GD diagnosis, represented as proportions of the total population of women or men who had a specific prescription. M stands for males, F females. p value represents statistical differences between women and men, asterisks mark statistically significant values. C. Proportions of how many of men and women with either social welfare payments, sickness/activity/rehabilitation compensation or unemployment had their GD diagnosis before, after or concurrently with the socio-economic factor, represented as proportions of the total population who had a GD diagnosis and a specific socio-economic factor. M stands for males, F females. p value represents statistical differences between women and men, asterisks mark statistically significant values.

Orange line accentuates odds ratio for controls (baseline). * Sickness compensation also encompasses activity and rehabilitation compensation. B.
