Dear Forum,
I am Anilkumar From Hyderabad, India presently i am working on the NFHS data on child anthopometric data i am looking for the variables like weight-for-age, height-for-age height-for-weight variables but i really not understanding which method you used for calculations and formulas you have used. I request everyone please share the documentation or SAS codes for this. Because i need to apply same method to my own research data.
