Notes: FPL = federal poverty level; LGB = lesbian, gay, and bisexual. Rao Scott correction F-test statistics were conducted to find p values to test differences among groups for categorical variables. Bivariate logistic regressions were conducted to find differences of demographic variable by the four groups. Group differences at the p < .05 level are indicated by superscripts.
aStraight Latinx vs non-Latinx older adults differ at the p < .05 level on all demographic variables. b Non-Latinx LGB vs straight older adults differ at the p < .05 level on gender. cLGB Latinx vs non-Latinx older adults differ at the p < .05 level on poverty, education, and nativity.
