Hi everyone,

The NFHS reports and the codebooks (NFHS-4 and NFHS-5) do not mention whether plasma equivalents are given or whether the values must be converted, at least I could not find this information. Do you know?

Kind regards,
Sarah

In NFHS-5 and NFHS-4, the blood glucose test results are expressed in mg/dl. In both surveys, capillary blood was collected from a finger stick to measure non-fasting whole blood glucose using the FreeStyle Optium H glucometer with glucose test strips. The survey reports do not have plasma equivalents for the test results.
