DAILY VARIABILITY OF MULTI-DIMENSIONAL SUBJECTIVE AGE ACROSS THE ADULT LIFE-COURSE: IMPACT OF SCORING METHODS

Abstract

Subjective age (SA), measured as how old you feel, is associated with positive health and developmental outcomes. Despite the increased use of multi-dimensional items, there is great heterogeneity in how it is implemented. SA measures often use different scoring methods which may impact subsequent analyses and interpretations.
