Hello,

I have a question regarding the variable hv118 "member eligible for men's interview" regarding BMI data in the PR file.

Here is the STATA code I used to get the below table

gen age_inc_m=1 if inrange(hb1,20,54)
gen bmi_inc_m=1 if inrange(hb40,1200,6000)
gen inc=1 if bmi_inc_m==1&age_inc_m==1

tab hv118 inc

| member eligible for
| men's interview
inc | not eligi eligible | Total
-----------+----------------------+----------
1 | 1,765 57,170 | 58,935
-----------+----------------------+----------
Total | 1,765 57,170 | 58,935

What is the 1,765 people who were "not eligible" but have their height, weight, and BMI data?
Is it safe to include these people for BMI data analysis?

Thank you for your help.

Best,
