The present study aims fill this gap by investigating differences and similarities regarding how common are, sex differences, suitability symptoms, their association with difficulties. Method: A total 688 university students (63.2% women, Mean age = 25.98) completed a questionnaire measuring IGD SMD, as well difficulties (i.e., psychosomatic low self-concept, social problems). Results: Results showed 1.2% men 0.9% women met symptom criteria for (non-significant difference), whereas 3.2% 2.8% SMD difference).

Methods This is a prospective cohort study of 2586 Mexican college students followed up from September 2018 June 2022. We estimated hazards ratios modeling incidence attempts by fitting proportional Cox models with person-time scaled in years. Results Among 2140 without at baseline, there were 467 cases 3987.6 person-years; rates 179 per 1000 person-years among 114 those IGD. Incidence for plans 67 39 non-IGD students, 15 10 1000, respectively After controlling age, sex, mood, anxiety, substance use disorders, was associated an 83% increased risk ideation. Although rate estimates higher IGD, results statistically significant.
