The specified data were collected from the case records of those receiving a primary or comorbid ICD-10 diagnosis of a personality disorder.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: Personality disorders had a prevalence of 1.07%, with a preponderance of those aged 21\u201340 years (69.4%), men (64.9%), employed and students (37.3% and 32.8% respectively), unmarried (56%), graduates and undergraduates (27.6% each), and referred by the family (68.7%). The most common personality disorders were anxious-avoidant and borderline. Compared with the anxious-avoidant group, the borderline group was younger (mean age 24.44 vs 29.66 years) and had a preponderance of females (60% vs 27.1%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion: The prevalence of personality disorders among the psychiatric outpatients was low compared to most of the research literature reporting clinically diagnosed personality disorders. The differences between the borderline and anxious-avoidant personality disorder subjects were largely explained by interrelated demographic variables.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0020764010387548","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,22]],"date-time":"2010-12-22T20:41:15Z","timestamp":1293050475000},"page":"146-152","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Personality disorders: Prevalence and demography at a psychiatric outpatient in North India"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Swapnil","family":"Gupta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Surendra Kumar","family":"Mattoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0020764010387548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1360-0443.1991.tb03419.x"},{"key":"bibr2-0020764010387548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0447.1988.tb06346.x"},{"key":"bibr3-0020764010387548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00051329"},{"key":"bibr4-0020764010387548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.188.5.423"},{"key":"bibr5-0020764010387548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0447.1989.tb05221.x"},{"key":"bibr6-0020764010387548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.bp.108.058552"},{"key":"bibr7-0020764010387548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0447.1991.tb05526.x"},{"key":"bibr8-0020764010387548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09540260310001635177"},{"key":"bibr9-0020764010387548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biopsych.2006.09.019"},{"key":"bibr10-0020764010387548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.1997.01830160073010"},{"key":"bibr11-0020764010387548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0447.2001.104001051.x"},{"key":"bibr12-0020764010387548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1521\/pedi.1991.5.3.296"},{"key":"bibr13-0020764010387548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1521\/pedi.1992.6.3.187"},{"key":"bibr14-0020764010387548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0021-843X.103.2.259"},{"key":"bibr15-0020764010387548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01788194"},{"key":"bibr16-0020764010387548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005053-199102000-00003"},{"key":"bibr17-0020764010387548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.1988.01800350057008"},{"key":"bibr18-0020764010387548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.180.6.536"},{"key":"bibr19-0020764010387548","first-page":"183","volume":"14","author":"Sethi B.B.","year":"1972","journal-title":"Indian Journal of Psychiatry"},{"key":"bibr20-0020764010387548","unstructured":"Sharan P.
