| Multi: | Presence – Old: - Same as Young when C and k difference are equal to their averages |
| - Increases and higher than Young when k difference increases | |
| - Decreases and lower than Young when C increases | |
| Strength – Old: - Lower for Old Males when Eglob and l are equal to their averages | |
| - Same as Young for Old Females when Eglob and l are equal to their averages | |
| - Increases faster for Old than Young when Eglob and l increase | |
| Conclusion: The age related differences in the overall number of connections vary by dyadic clustering and degree difference. More specifically, older adults are less likely to have connections between nodes with higher clustering, and more likely to have connections between nodes with a greater degree difference (less assortative) than young adults. The age-related differences in the overall strength of connections vary by dyadic global efficiency and leverage centrality. More specifically, connection strengths increase faster for older adults between nodes as dyadic global efficiency and leverage centrality values increase. Additionally, older women have more overall connection strength than older men. |
