Hi
These were the numbers referring from the response by your on August 23rd stating: "I looked at the frequencies. For example, of the 724,115 women in the IR file in the NFHS-5, 13,589 (weighted frequency) say they currently have diabetes. 1,576 of the women with diabetes had a birth in the past 5 years. Of them, 87 had a child in the past 5 years who died as an infant. I think it would be very difficult to find a relationship between currently having diabetes and having had an infant death, especially if you take potential confounders into account. Because these are self-reports and the temporal sequence is reversed, any reviewers would be skeptical."
I was trying to enter command in Stata to see the weighted frequency results that you obtained but unable to get the similar results. Would you be able to confirm what command you used to achieve 13,589 and then 1576 with 87 had a child in past 5 years who died of diabetes?
Also, just to confirm there is no variable reflecting Hypertension, anemia or blood glucose levels/measurements during the most recent pregnancy/birth in DHS India 2019-21 survey? I was looking for the ones from 1998, and there was one for anemia during pregnancy so wanted to confirm.
Thanks
