Estimated model of explanatory mechanisms underlying the association of education at age 21 with number of chronic diseases at age 33 (estimate, [bootstrap 95% CI]).

Note. The model fit the data reasonably well: CFI = .93, RMSEA = .04, WRMR = .54, χ2 (21) = 45.37, p = .002). Dashed lines represent statistically indirect effect of education on depression via a hypothesized intervening factor. Paths from covariates to main variables are not presented but are discussed in the text. All paths adjusted for baseline health status during childhood, childhood low SES, and cognitive ability.
