Researchers were interested in why some children develop conduct disorder while other children do not.

They studied 1037 children that were followed closely from childhood to adulthood. The figure below presents their results on the association between conduct disorder, maltreatment in childhood, and levels of MAOA activity in male children. On the Y axis are the percent (%) male children in the study who exhibited conduct disorder between the ages of 10 and 18. No maltreatment Probable maltreatment Severe maltreatment disorder % male children (Ages 10-18) exhibiting conduct 100 80 ត C. ↓ n=108 42 13 Low MADA activity 180 79 20 High MAOA activity According to the figure above, which of the following is true for conduct disorder in male children between the ages of 10 and 18?
