Note: ANOVA = analysis of variance; df = degrees of freedom; HSD = honestly significant difference. N = 108, with df sometimes < 108 because of missing data in predictor variables. F and p values are from the overall ANOVA. Significant group contrasts with Tukey HSD correction are indicated by numerical subscripts indicating the groups that are significantly different than the current group. Prominent differences in group profiles shown in bold. Subjective health coded so that lower scores indicate better health. Cluster labels are purely descriptive.
