indicator in STAT compiler
Indicator: Children with any anemia
Measure Percent
Definition Percentage of children under age 5 classified as having any anemia
Denominator Children age 6-59 months
Group Child Nutrition: Prevalence of anemia in children
Type Indicator
Decimals 1
Indicator ID CN_ANMC_C_ANY

I wanted to match the india (Prevalence: 67.1 n:152,752 as reported in NFHS5 report), region-wise prevalence of any anemia among children and the district factsheet for Sambhal (Uttar Pradesh), which reports a prevalence rate of 69.8%.

Codes used in STATA:
*Using PR file
drop any_anem
gen any_anem=0 if hc55==0 & hv103==1 & (hc1>5 & hc1<60) & hv042==1
replace any_anem=1 if hc57<4 & any_anem!=.
ta any_anem
ta any_anem [iw=wt] //India
mean any_anem [iw=wt] if hv024==9 , over(shdist) //not matching with report

***********
*Using KR file
drop any_anem
gen any_anem=0 if hw55==0 & b19>5
replace any_anem=1 if hw57<4 & any_anem!=.
ta any_anem
ta any_anem [iw=wt] //India
