1980
oppositional defiant disorder has a prevalence of 1% to 11%. the average prevalence is approximately 3.3%. gender and age play an important role in the rate of the disorder. in fact, odd gradually develops and becomes apparent in preschool years; often before the age of eight years old. however, it is very unlikely to emerge following early adolescence. there is difference in prevalence between boys and girls. the ratio of this prevalence is 1.4 to 1 in favor of boys being more prevalent than girls before adolescence. on the other hand, girls' prevalence tends to increase after puberty. when researchers observed the general prevalence of oppositional defiant disorder throughout cultures, they noticed that it remained constant. however, the sex difference in odd prevalence is only significant in western cultures. there are two possible explanations for this difference which are that in non-western cultures there is a decrease prevalence of odd in boys or an increase prevalence of odd in girls. there are other factors that can influence the prevalence of the disorder. one of these factors is the socioeconomic status. youths living in families of low socioeconomic status have a higher prevalence. another factor is based on the criteria used to diagnose an individual. when the disorder was first included in the dsm-iii, the prevalence was 25% higher than when the dsm-iv revised the criteria of diagnosis. the dsm-v made more changes to the criteria grouping certain characteristics together in order to demonstrate that odd display both emotional and behavioral symptomatology. in addition, criteria were added to help guide clinicians in diagnosis because of the difficulty found in identifying whether the behaviors or symptoms are directly related to the disorder or simply a phase in a child's life. consequently, future studies may obtain results indicating a decline in prevalence between the dsm-iv and the dsm-v due to these changes.

in addition to these two courses that are recognized by the dsm-iv-tr, there appears to be a relationship among oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder and antisocial personality disorder. specifically, research has demonstrated continuity in the disorders such that conduct disorder is often diagnosed in children who have been previously diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder, and most adults with antisocial personality disorder were previously diagnosed with conduct disorder. for example, some research has shown that 90% of children diagnosed with conduct disorder had a previous diagnosis of oppositional defiant disorder. moreover, both disorders share relevant risk factors and disruptive behaviors, suggesting that oppositional defiant disorder is a developmental precursor and milder variant of conduct disorder. however, this is not to say that this trajectory occurs in all individuals. in fact, only about 25% of children with oppositional defiant disorder will receive a later diagnosis of conduct disorder. correspondingly, there is an established link between conduct disorder and the diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder as an adult. in fact, the current diagnostic criteria for antisocial personality disorder require a conduct disorder diagnosis before the age of 15. however, again, only 25-40% of youths with conduct disorder will develop antisocial personality disorder. nonetheless, many of the individuals who do not meet full criteria for antisocial personality disorder still exhibit a pattern of social and personal impairments or antisocial behaviors. these developmental trajectories suggest the existence of antisocial pathways in certain individuals, which have important implications for both research and treatment.
