Dear Bridgette

Thank you for your email.

I am afraid I did not find the CSPro codes very helpful, sorry. Not all the variables represented in the Tables are represented in the programming codes. I would really appreciate it if I can get more clarity on:

1. how the total number of respondents on Table 15.4 was arrived at if from Table C.2.1, for example, the number of eligible men aged 15-54 is over 3,900, when I removed those aged below 35 years, I end up with 2,510 men.

2. I am interested in knowing whether the denominator was obtained by extracting those 35 years and above from datasets BDIR61FL and BDMR61FL for women and men, respectively? if not, how?

3. What variables identify men and women aged 35 years or older who were eligible for blood glucose measurement. I have seen a few publications use 8835 residents (women: 4311; men: 4524) aged 35 years or older were eligible for blood glucose measurement. I would like to validate this information.

Hope this is helpful?

Best wishes

JB
