The association of rare deletions with intelligence may, in this context, shed light on why lower intelligence predicts more comorbid health and mental health problems: holes in the genome may have widespread consequences, especially for brain function.
A number of studies have also shown that CAM users tend to be individuals who have more comorbid, non-life-threatening health problems than nonusers [ 10- 14].

Only a small fraction of alcohol abusers in the general population are registered by clinics [ 4, 8, 29, 30] and these are likely to have a more severe drinking problem, and more comorbid disorders [ 31].
29 Many candidates who are extremely overweight or underweight are also likely to be in poor health in general due to the presence of one or more comorbid conditions and/or the presence of past hip fractures, congenital joint problems, or trauma and may be more prone to developing problems related to implant failure and dislocation as a result.
