Cusp Catastrophe Model - MIDUS
Cusp Catastrophe ModelA Nonlinear Model for Health Outcomes in Nursing ResearchDing-Geng (Din) Chen Feng Lin Xinguang (Jim) Chen Wan Tang Harriet KitzmanBackground:Although health outcomes may havefundamentally nonlinear relationships with relevant behavioral, psychological,cognitively, or biological predictors, most analytical models assume a linear relationship. Furthermore, some healthoutcomes may have multimodal distributions, but most statistical models in common use assume a unimodal, normaldistribution. Suitable nonlinear models should be developed to explain health :The aim of this study is to provide an overview of a cusp Catastrophe Model for examining health outcomes and topresent an example using grip strength as an indicator of a physical functioning outcome to illustrate how the technique maybe used.
Conclusion: The cusp catastrophe model is a useful alternative for explaining the nonlinear relationships commonly seen between health outcome and its predictors. Considerations for the use of cusp catastrophe model in nursing research are discussed and recommended.
