Hi! For an epidemiology assignment I am looking at the dataset, Ghana 2022 (GHGR8BFL) of the "Pregnancies Recode". One of the variables we need to take into account it BMI but we are confused with the categorization of the values. In the data we found variable V419 (Height/Weight) which gives us categories 0-4, but we dont know which weights these match up with. It is very similar to that of the Ghana 2022 Summary PDF where they have 5 categories: Severely thin, Moderately thin, Normal, Overweight, and Obese. But again we dont know how to match them. If someone could help us match these we would be very grateful!
