Anything above the red line(s) are significant 'biases'. We see that education and age biases were not significant for men using MEHM(+) but for SRH. Nominally, this is also true for women. Also generally for income and optimism. Great! (9/11)

Great, but are these indicators any good?

At least they seem to reduce age biases. Using the same subjective question, younger people tend to underestimate their 'objective' health, older people overestimate. MEHM(+) reduces this, making the responses more comparable. (7/11)

It does! I extracted an indicator from MEHM and MEHM+. MEHM +also includes pain and multimorbidity, which are also important for rating one's health: twitter.com/PatLazarevic...

GSEM is flexible for adding more variables if you have them! (6/11)

Using DEAS-data of Germans aged 40-85 (by Deutsches Zentrum für Altersfragen), I wanted to combine the MEHM into 1 indicator. Cronbach's α was great across age groups (esp. for a short scale!).
Next step: combining them using generalized structural equation modeling (GSEM) - does it work? (5/11)
