Mean latent variable differences in current dependence were examined for both birth cohort reference groups. Mean dependence among those born <1945 was significantly different than those born 1945–1975; this difference remained largely unchanged after accounting for measurement non-invariance (unadjusted β=0.171, p<.001, adjusted β=0.178, p<.001). Birth cohorts 1945–1975 and <1945 did not differ significantly in mean dependence in both unadjusted and adjusted models (unadjusted β=0.034, p=0.118, adjusted β=0.039, p=0.149).
