SampleParticipants were volunteers of the UK Biobank (UKB), a population-based sample of ~500,000 adults in the UK aged 40–65 [18]. After providing informed consent, participants completed a self-report survey, and a subset (n = 157,366) later completed an online mental health questionnaire. Medical records of participants were linked via national health registries, and additional diagnoses were obtained through interviews and the online survey (self-reports of clinically diagnosed conditions).
