Hello

I am analysing the levels and trends of stunting and underweight in Malawi.I notice that for anthropometry estimates for MDHS 2010 (4,586), the sample size is less than half of what was used in 2000(11,926) and 2004 (10,914) MDHS data sets. I also find that the variables such as Region and Urban/rural residence that were significantly associated with stunting and underweight in 2000 and 2004 are no longer significant in 2010 and I was wondering if this could be due to the reduced sample size. Your advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Lana
