ODD is a disorder reserved for children and adolescents.

I do know that if Conduct Disorder continues into adulthood it could then be classified as Antisocial PD. ODD can often be resolved but if not would probably also be classified as a personality disorder in an adult. I don't think there's as clearly a defined link to one in particular though.
