Values printed bold are significant (p < .05)
AD age discrimination, ADg global, domain-independent age discrimination, ADwork perceived age discrimination in the domain work, ADmed perceived age discrimination in the domain medical care, ADsocial perceived age discrimination in the domain social interactions, VA views on ageing, VAagg views on ageing aggregated across the three scales, PC personal competence, PL physical loss, SL social loss. Higher values indicate more age discrimination and more negative views on ageing for all variables
aIn the domain medical care a non-significant negative residual variance had to be fixed to zero
†Values marked with a cross are significant as indicated by p < .10
