Hi,
I have merged two recode files--IR with PR and wanted to check nutritional status across mothers' low BMI (BMI<18.5) but I am not getting the same results as reported in state reports of NFHS 4. I have used the same filters that would have been used for each variable in their respective individual recode files (PR, IR) for NFHS 4.
Eg for Assam, I am getting stunted children of underweight mothers as 42.8% instead of 43.1 and underweight children as 39.9% instead of 40.1%. Also when I had merged the two datasets, only 30% of observations merged. The weighted sample size of state when BMI (tab v445) was checked on this dataset is 32639
Please suggest where the problem lies. I have attached the code.
