Hi, I am wondering about which variable will be appropriate to use for using high blood pressure and high glucose as health outcome of individual? I am working with NHFS 5 India dataset. One of the variable asks for (sb20 on IR file) 'high BP on two or more occasions by doctors' and one is just (s728b) "currently has hypertension". Since the numbers are differently reported and don't match, to use it as a population's health outcome, which variable will give more justified results? Same for diabetes/glucose level. Thank you!
