Dear Sir/ Ma'am,
I am working with NFHS-4 (India) household data file (IAHR71FL) with SPSS.
I need to find out the number of households with at least one (child or adult) malnourished for all-India.
For child malnutrition, I need Weight-for-Age (Underweight) for children below 5 years of age (below - 2 SD or above 2 SD).
For adult malnutrition, men age 15-54 and women age 15-49 who are not pregnant and who have not had a birth in the two months before the survey (BMI is not normal: less than 18.5 or more than 24.9).

Please help me to create SPSS syntax for the above-mentioned problem.

Thanks and regards,

Nilanjan Patra

I would like to know if my SPSS syntax is correct to see if at least one child in household is underweight.

DO IF (hv103$01 = 1 & 0 <= hc1$1 < 60) .
RECODE hc71$1 (SYSMIS=SYSMIS) (-600 thru -200.5=1) (200.5 thru 600=1) (-200 thru 200=0) INTO chi_mal1.
END IF .
EXECUTE .
