  1. Source: SNDS
  2. Field: People with WA in 2016 in France and randomly selected people without WA (N = 1,458,969)
  3. Interpretation: In the study population, the average age of those who experienced a WA in 2016 is 37.5 years
  4. Significance: All figures in this table are significantly different between both groups at the 0.1% threshold
  5. aBZD overuse is not comparable between the year before and the year after the WA, because of the four months lagged required
