The main findings from the EN analyses were the following: All the other analyses (3 out of 4) excluding the age of onset analysis of the wave 2 data robustly detected the childhood conduct disorder (criterion #8 from ASPD diagnosis; referred to as ASPD CD) and the criterion #4 from the BPD diagnosis (self-damaging impulsive behaviors; referred to as BPD 4) as significant predictors of AUD over and above the other traits. The other 78 PD criteria were often selected out from the optimal predictive models. The below-reported criterion-level analyses, therefore, concentrated on these two PD criteria (see supplementary section 2.2 for tuning of EN regression models and section 2.3.1 for regression coefficients). Of note, the importance of Obsessive-Compulsive PD criterion #6 (reluctance to delegate tasks unless done in one’s exact way of doing things) may increase in late adulthood (Supplementary Tables S2 and S3). In a sensitivity analysis, we removed BPD 4 from the predictor set due to potential construct overlap with AUD. As shown in Table S3, criterion #1 of ASPD was then the other robust predictor besides
