Model 1: standardized factor loadings from a multi-group confirmatory factor analyses of physical health and mental health factors, by gender, number of limitations in activities of daily living (ADL), and number of medical conditions

Note. Fully constrained model: χ²(32) = 21525.5; RMSEA = 0.10; CFI = 0.92; SRMR = 0.05; λ = standardized factor loading.

All SF-36 subscales were reverse scored.
