Men Body Mass Index - Lesotho 2009
https://userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=454&th=257#msg_454
Please I will like to know how to generate men's body mass index (BMI) reported in the Lesotho 2009 report (Table 11.10.02, page 152). The variable for women BMI is v445, however there is no corresponding mv445 for men, but men BMI was tabulated in the report.
