I want to work with hypertension (measurements of blood pressure) from Kyrgyz DHS 2012. I already downloaded all of the data sets. i was unable to find the variables for systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements for both male and female.
Can anybody help me to identify those variables from Kyrgyz DHS 2012.
Thank you
regards

The blood pressure measurement variables are country specific variables. However, they can be easily found by checking the map file, which was distributed with your downloaded dataset. All country specific variables begin with the letter "S" and usually are named similarly to the variable in the raw data (or your questionnaire). For example: Q101ESN is country specific variable S101ES in the recoded data file. This is the variable for the systolic measurement. Below are the variables for the women and men indicating the systolic and diastolic.
Blood pressure was measured several times during the interview:
If you have additional questions, please feel free to post again.
Thank you!]]>Liz-DHS2014-07-14T20:17:21-00:00Re: Kyrgyz DHS 2012
