_Objective:_ The objective was to estimate the age of onset (AOO) for all anxiety disorders and for specific subtypes. Gender differences in the AOO of anxiety disorders were examined, as were the influence of study characteristics on reported AOOs.
_Methods:_ Seven electronic databases were searched up to October 2014, with keywords representing anxiety disorder subtypes, AOO, and study design. The inclusion criteria were studies using a general population sample that provided data on the AOO for all anxiety disorders, or specific anxiety disorders, according to DSM-III-R, DSM-IV, or ICD-10 criteria.
_Results:_ There were 1028 titles examined, which yielded 24 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Eight studies reported the AOO and gender. Meta-analysis found a mean AOO of all anxiety disorders of 21.3 years (95% CI 17.46 to 25.07). Separation anxiety disorder, specific phobia, and social phobia had their mean onset before the age of 15 years, whereas the AOO of agoraphobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder began, on average, between 21.1 and 34.9 years. Meta-analysis revealed no difference in the AOO between genders. A prospective s

Dieleman & Jasmijn M. de Lijster Chapter First Online: 12 November 2018 1043 Accesses Abstract Anxiety disorders are highly prevalent and debilitating psychiatric conditions, which often remain unrecognised and untreated. However, left untreated, anxiety disorders often persist and can contribute to the development of other psychiatric disorders. Therefore, early detection and subsequent intervention are important. Information on the age of onset (AOO) of anxiety disorders could be informative for the timing of prevention strategies. The aim of this chapter is to review and quantitatively synthesise previous findings on the AOO of anxiety disorders. We extended data of a previous meta-analysis of our research group (de Lijster et al. 2017) with a literature search of studies published between October 2014 and June 2017. Anxiety disorders in general were found to have their mean onset at 21 years, which is earlier than the average onset of mood disorders and substance use disorders. However, the age period in which anxiety disorders develops is relatively broad. Separation anxiety disorder, specific phobia and social phobia have their onset in childhood and adolescence, whereas agoraphobia, obsessive–compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and panic disorder have their onset in early adulthood. Generalised anxiety disorder had the latest mean onset at almost 35 years
