Note. ADL = Activities of daily living, IADL = Instrumental activities of daily living. Network satisfaction and network size was included only in the models examining the CAPS-12 scores of older persons with a network. Solitude satisfaction was included only in the models examining the CASP-12 scores of older persons without a network. a Reference group = married living with spouse b Reference group = retired, * p < .050, ** p < .010
