A significant direct effect of a covariate on a latent factor indicates that the mean of the latent factors differs across different levels of the covariate (also referred to as population heterogeneity).
The presence of adjustment costs that differ across factors breaks this constraint, and allows interior maximizers when α≠γ. 15 These two different adjustments are not separately identified in the data used here.
Care practices at the end of life, including the withholding of and withdrawal of life-sustaining food and hydration, vary considerably across Europe, and differ by factors including region and religion of both the physician and the patient [ 4].
Our study is cross-sectional, and it is possible that other factors differing across the age range affected metacognitive ability.
There was moderate variation in HbA1c levels between centres at follow-up (intracluster correlation coefficient of 0.06), which is likely to reflect a combination of demographic, clinical, and therapeutic factors differing across sites.
The full explanation may lie in a complex matrix of all of these factors differing across individuals, communities and diagnoses, but is unlikely to lie in the potential for symptom overlap between PTSD and common co-morbid diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, and dysthymia.
Genetic influences on AAD symptoms over age could be accounted for by one factor, with the relative influence of this factor differing across ages.
In fact, these mean percentages across factors differed significantly (Table 1).
The factors that contribute to LBW differ across different countries and across different regions within certain countries.
Interestingly, environments 0iFN and 5iBH, which differ across all factors, showed a moderate sample correlation (0.30).
Risk factors for OA differ across different joints.
