Hi,
I have been using the following command in STATA to calculate children's stunting, wasting and underweight.
I have used KR file.
Now, if I want to calculate child's stunting, wasting and underweight from IR file, what should
be the command in STATA?
I asked this, because, in KR file I have used hw70, hw 72, and hw71 etc such variables to calculate stunting and wasting.
But, in IR file there exist variables such as hw70_1, hw70_2, he70_3, hw70_4..and so on, as you may noticed.
Now how should be the command for calculating child stunting in total by using stata command?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Anik
