Hi all,
Thank you for your reply! That does seem to help. However, I still have roughly 10% of my sample with blood glucose measures with an age <35 (from the merged individual dataset age variable). But according to the household age variable, all of the sample is 35 or older.
I am wondering if I am interpreting the variables incorrectly. In the IR dataset, v012 is "respondent's current age." In the household dataset, sh303 is "age." I understand that v012 was calculated from the respondent's reported day of birth. Do you have any idea why there may be a discrepancy in the age variables between the two datasets?
Thank you for your help on this!
