Descriptive dose–response analysis in ADHD probands relating the number of current comorbid mental health conditions to mean DESR scores (Table 3 means rising from 5.9 at zero conditions to 18.7 at six). The study reports "individuals with higher numbers of current comorbid conditions tended to have higher DESR scores."

"As shown in Fig. 2 and Table 3, among the ADHD probands, individuals with higher numbers of current comorbid conditions tended to have higher DESR scores."
