Notes.
Robust 95% confidence intervals (exponentiated form for the ORs) are in parentheses.
Two-tailed tests ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05, ^p < 0.10.
As per Karlson et al. (2012), extents of mediation were established through the coefficients.
When household's difficulty in making ends meet was the sole mediator, the difference coefficient reached marginal statistical significance (p < 0.10). When feeling lonely and face-to-face contact with non-relatives were the sole mediators, the difference coefficient reached statistical significance (p < 0.01).
When household's difficulty in making ends meet was the sole mediator, the difference coefficient reached statistical significance (p < 0.01). When feeling lonely and face-to-face contact with non-relatives were the sole mediators, the difference coefficient reached statistical significance (p < 0.001).
When household's difficulty in making ends meet was the sole mediator, the difference coefficient reached statistical significance (p < 0.05). When feeling lonely and face-to-face contact with non-relatives were the sole mediators, the difference coefficient reached statistical significance (p < 0.05).
