“…Looking first at income, demographic data, and lifestyle variables, we found that women reported anxiety more frequently than men. This is consistent with the literature, which has shown women to be twice as likely to suffer from anxiety disorders as men and that this distribution is stable across cultures (Bandelow and Schüller, 2020 ; Bandelow and Michaelis, 2022 ). There are biological [e.g., Bandelow and Domschke ( 2015 )], psychosocial [e.g., Bandelow et al ( 2002 )], and societal [e.g., Hurrelmann and Kolip ( 2015 )] explanations for this.…”

“…We compared the age of the participants in the studies with a database on the average age of participants in 832 clinical studies [ 13 ]. The mean age (PDA: 38.6, GAD 38.2; SAD 35.7) in the evaluated studies was similar to the typical age of participants calculated in this database (PDA: 37.2, GAD 40.7; SAD 35.2).…”
