Note: β = standardized coefficient; R2 = the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable explained by the independent variables in the model, serving as an indicator of model fit; adj R2 = Adjusted R2 is modification of R2 that considers the number of independent variables in the model.

a

Restricted network type was specified as the reference group.

b

Marital status is coded 0 = not married.

c

Retirement status is coded 0 = not retired.

The scale ranges are as follows: age = 40–69; education, 1≤ elementary school, 2 = middle school, 3 = high school, 4 = some college, 5 = graduate school; income, 1≤ $10,000, 2 = $10,000–$20,000, 3 = $20,000–$30,000, 4 = $30,000–$40,000, 5 $40,000; physical health, 1–5; loneliness, 1–5; depressive symptoms, 0–3. p < 0.10. *p < 0.05. **p < 0.01. ***p < 0.001.
