I want to assess the overweight and obesity situation among children under 5 years old based on the standards set by the WHO. I will calculate using the hw2 and hw3 data from the DHS survey files in the KR document. The unit of hw2 is kilograms and the unit of hw3 is centimeters. However, when I examined the distribution of hw2 and hw3, I found that many of the data were simply impossible for children aged 5. Why did this happen? How should I calculate?
