Hi everyone,

I'm working with NFHS5 adult data, and I've noticed something strange regarding the anemia level definitions. While they are generally based on WHO guidelines, there are some discrepancies. For instance, WHO defines the range for moderate anemia as 8-10.9, but in the raw data I'm working with, the range is 7-10.9.

Even more confusing, the ranges for different levels of anemia overlap. For example, the maximum value for severe anemia in the data is 7.9, rather than the expected 7, which means there's an overlap between severe and moderate anemia ranges.

Has anyone else encountered this before? Any insights into why the data would be structured like this?

Thanks in advance for your help!
