I have used the following codes for Nepal DHS 2022 dataset:
gen bmi=v445/100
gen bmic=1 if bmi<18.5
replace bmic=2 if bmi>=18.5 & bmi<25
replace bmic=3 if bmi>=25 & bmi<30
replace bmic=4 if bmi>=30 & bmi<50
label define bmic 1"Underweight" 2"Normal" 3"Overweight" 4"Obese"
label values bmic bmic
gen ht_flag=0
replace ht_flag=1 if v438>9000
gen preg_flag=0
replace preg_flag=1 if v213==1
gen months_since_last_birth=v008-b3_01
gen recent_birth_flag=0
replace recent_birth_flag=1 if months_since_last_birth<=1
tab bmic if ht_flag==0 & preg_flag==0 & recent_birth_flag==0 [iweight=v005/1000000]
The result is following:
bmic | Freq. Percent Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
Underweight | 936.250508 13.36 13.36
Normal | 4,020.4742 57.37 70.74
Overweight | 1,557.3877 22.22 92.96
Obese | 493.271511 7.04 100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
Total | 7,007.3839 100.00
This does not correspond with the tables 11.21.2 & 11.21.3 in the Nepal DHS survey report 2022. These tables reported nutritional status of 6980 women. Why i can't match their findings? Please help.
