Table 3. Multiple-Group CFA (Model 2b) for 23 DEMQOL Items (Unstandardized Factor Loadings With Bootstrapped Standard Errors): Scalar Invariance Estimates.

Item DEMQOL (n = 1,284), EL (n = 867), ES (n = 417) h2 GEN SE COG SE LON SE SOC SE
Note. GEN = general HRQL; COG = worries about cognition; LON = loneliness; SOC = worries about social relationship. Model fit from non-bootstrapped results: χ2 = 1,788.347 (df = 508), English (EL) χ2 = 983.708, Spanish (ES) χ2 = 804.639. Root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = .063 (90% confidence interval [CI] = .060, .066), comparative fit index (CFI) = .935. DIFFTEST χ2 = 325.029 (Δdf = 74), p < .0001. h2 = communalities.
