I hope you got the solution of your problem. I am also working on NFHS-4 dataset and have merged IR, PR and MR files. Since, in MR file there is no data on BMI, therefore i am using variable hb40 from IR sheet for BMI of men. This BMI is giving values for 1,08,817 observations (for 15-54 age group). But in table 10.19.2 the number of observations in this age group is only 1,07,529 and in age group 15-49 total no. of observations is 99.168 whereas when i am applying filters i am getting total of 1,00,459 men in this age group whose BMI is given.
What is the reason for this difference.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
