You're right -- since NFHS-2 doesn't have a direct variable like v457, you'll need to calculate anaemia levels manually using s902 (haemoglobin levels). Just apply the WHO cutoff points for different severity levels (any, mild, moderate, severe) adjusted for factors like age, sex, and pregnancy status.
