Figures & data
Figure 1. Conceptual Model of Wellness. This Venn diagram illustrates the proposed conceptual model which includes physical wellness indicators, positive affect, sense of engagement, being impervious to negativity from others, having the resources to be kind to others, and being able to retain a sense of perspective.

Figure 2. Bifactor Model of Wellness. This bifactor model comprises one general factor and four specific factors. Incorporating the specific factors’ residual correlations into the general score enables the creation of a short-form measure that represents multiple sub-domains within a broader construct.

Figure 3. Score Reliability Across the DQ Wellness General Score. The DQ Wellness score exhibits high reliability across all levels of the summed score, and thus, across the full range of the latent trait of Wellness.
Figure 4. Paneled Histogram of the DQ Wellness General Score by Comorbidity Burden. As numbers of comorbidities increase, the mean and distribution of the DQ Wellness general score shift lower.
