The findings suggest the robustness of OCD as a disorder in diverse parts of the world, as data for age at onset and comorbidity with major depression and the other anxiety disorders are consistent among countries, but the predominance of obsessions or compulsions varies.

Alcoholism--North America and Asia. A comparison of population surveys with the Diagnostic Interview Schedule.
There is considerable variation in the lifetime prevalence of alcoholism but a similarity in the age of onset, the symptomatic expression, and the associated risk factors, which has implications for the definition of alcoholism and for a better understanding of genetic and environmental interactions in its etiology.
