Why do you want to create five dummies? One can use GLM to analyse this type of data without much problems.

Sujit Kumar Ray

Age has been considered to be control variable in PLS-SEM analysis. Therefore, these dummies can be used as single indicator constructs.

Matthew Kerry

Dummy coding would set your ref group to your choice. (=0).

EFX Coding would set your ref group to the average of all groups (grand mean).

Hope this helps
