Multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia syndrome may spur substantial disability for
those affected. Using structural equation modeling, this secondary analysis
examined predictors of disability in women with multiple sclerosis (n = 118) and
fibromyalgia syndrome (n = 197) recruited for separate wellness studies. Greater
functional limitations, lower economic adequacy, less social support, and higher
depressive symptoms predicted greater disability in both groups. The final
multigroup model showed good fit chi [(111, n = 315) = 135.92, comparative fit
index = 0.99, root mean square error of approximation = 0.03] and identified
similarities and differences across groups.
