Hello all,
I have recently merged the household (NMHR61FL.dta) and individual (NMIR61FL.dta) datasets using Stata 14.2, following the DHS protocol. However, there are some inconsistencies in the data. We know that blood glucose samples were only taken from individuals older than 35. However, according to the v012 respondent's age variable carried over from the NMIR61FL individual dataset, nearly half of the people with blood glucose measurements have ages <35. This makes me think that something has gone wrong with the merge. Any idea what is going on here? Has anyone else had this problem, or successfully (and consistently) merged the two?
