Multinomial Logistic Regression Comparing Profile Membership by Socioeconomic Status Indicators

Profile 1 Profile 2 Profile 3
Lowest problems (n = 364) Parent physical problems and disability (n = 165) Offspring and parent moderate physical problems (n = 90)
Variable B SE OR B SE OR B SE OR

Note: OR = odds ratio; Ref. = reference profile. Midlife adult n = 619. Fourteen midlife adults were excluded because they were categorized in Profile 4 (i.e., offspring highest problems). Model fit statistics: −2 (pseudo) log likelihood = 1,055.8, McFadden’s pseudo-R2 = .03.

a1 = less than $10,000; 2 = $10,001–$25,000; 3 = $25,001–$40,000; 4 = $40,001–$75,000; 5 = $75,001–$100,000; and 6 = more than $100,000. b0 = female and 1 = male. c0 = non-Hispanic White and 1 = ethnic or racial minority.
