Hello Alice,

It's better if you use the previous code I provided that constructs the bpmeasured and bplevels variables. This has already selected for the correct age group, for those who were measured, and for the correct bp range. You also need to identify the sex using the hv104 variable for each table. Following the previous code, please generate the bplevels variable and then run the following code for women (hv104==2). This gave me a match of 8% for 2,048 women.

Thank you.
Best,
Shireen



* normal BP and medication
gen nbp_med = 0 if bplevels!=.
replace nbp_med = 1 if sh319a== 1 & bplevels <4


tab nbp_med if hv104==2 [iw=wt]
