Final model of depression in ankylosing spondylitis. This model is the final model of depression in AS, based on model fit criteria. Numbers above the arrows represent the standardized regression coefficients of direct paths. Standardized regression coefficients can be interpreted as the change in y (dependent variable) in y standard deviation units for a standard deviation change in x (independent variable). Standardized coefficients of indirect effects are presented in Table 4. The numbered HADS items represent the individual corresponding items on the HADS questionnaire.
