LPA Latent profile analysis, AIC Akaike information criterion, CAIC Consistent AIC, BIC Bayesian information criterion, aBIC Sample-size adjusted BIC, LMR Lo-Mendell-Rubin likelihood ratio test, BLRT Bootstrap likelihood ratio test, Min. class % of smallest class based on the individuals’ highest affiliation probability

^aThe model estimation could not be replicated and consequently, the estimates were untrustworthy
