Models adjusted for gender, age, marital status, education and economic status. † Pooled interval of 90% CIs across all models. CFI: comparative fit index; TLI: Tucker–Lewis index; RMSEA: root mean square error of approximation; SRMR: standardized root mean square residual; boldface values are significant (p < 0.05).
