Final structural equation model of psychosocial correlates of middle-aged women’s risk perceptions for chronic disease. The model was a good fit to the data in the sample of 167 middle-aged women (χ2(175)=269.79, p<0.001; CFI=0.93; RMSEA=0.06, 90% CI=0.04-0.07). For simplicity, all error terms have been omitted and variable names have been abbreviated (MHLC=Multidimensional Health Locus of Control; CVD=cardiovascular disease; BRCA=breast cancer; BMI=body mass index; LUCA=lung cancer). All values are standardized path coefficients. *= p ≤ 0.05; **= p ≤ 0.01; ***= p ≤ 0.001.
