Factor Information
Data ID 2177
Factor entropy
Description The five-class solution was characterized by the lowest BIC value of all solutions and had better entropy than the four-class solution. Hence, the five-class solution was selected as the most optimal solution.
Biomarker NA
Classification E10 (physiological factor - other)

Application risk assessment
Objective This study compared cross-sectional levels of loneliness in adolescents with and without CHD; examined the longitudinal course of loneliness and identified different developmental trajectory classes in adolescents with CHD; and investigated to what extent these trajectory classes are accompanied by differences in depressive symptoms and perceived health.
p Value <0.001
Conclusion The five-class solution was characterized by the lowest BIC value of all solutions and had better entropy than the four-class solution. Hence, the five-class solution was selected as the most optimal solution.
