Hello!
When calculating BMI in the PR vs. IR file for NFHS-5, the PR file has more observations for women aged 15-49 years old.
In the PR file, I am using ha variables to correspond to the biomarker questionnaire -- see the code below:
keep if inrange(ha1,15,49)
keep if inrange(ha40,1200,6000)
Observations with valid BMI Values for 15-49 year old women in PR file: 709,252
In IR file, I am using v445:
keep if inrange(v445,1200,6000)
Observations with valid BMI Values for 15-49 year old women in IR file: 699,362
Can someone at DHS let me know why this difference exists?
What is official guidance? Stay to biomarker in PR? But why a difference of ~10,000?
