Model fit statistics for latent class models from 1 to 7 classes in the Edinburgh, ARREST, and SAFO cohorts.

aDefined in Methods section.

bMeasures the fit of the model to the data.

cMeasure of model complexity.

dMeasure for class separation; it ranges from zero to 1; values ≥0.8 indicate good separation of the different classes.
