Thanks very much - yes, I have am aware of your cautions about pooling male and female data together and also noted that women have different ages (15-49) vs men (15-54). I also renamed the male variables from mv* to v* before the merge.

But there is the second part of my post and question - relating to the use of the revised wt2 - which was not addressed. if we used a revised/ geometric mean version of wt2 (rev_wt2), as alluded to earlier, does it mean that we have to:

(1) use the revised wt2 in generating wt1 (i.e, d_HH/rev-wt2 instead of d_HH/wt2)?
(2) similarly, should we also change to the rev_wt2 in the loop (i.e., gen wt1_`i' = d_HH/wt2_`i')?

Thanks, again Tom and Bridgette - for all your assistance.

best, Yawo
