Hi,
I found anthropometric indices available for 7864 children in the data set (BDKR61SV). The report informs that the analysis focuses on 7826 children (92%) for whom complete and credible anthropometric and age data are available. The difference is only 38. However, the Table 11.1 shows that Total children:7861 including 3 children with missing information on size at birth. Is the result weighted?
I cannot identify the 7826 children according to the conditions: children who slept last night (elsewhere:13; variable B9), valid dates of birth (Ok), and valid measurement for both (Height and weight).
From the variable HW70 "Height out of plausible limits: 44" and "Flagged cases :173".
In all the way I failed to find 7826 children.
Is the results of Table 11.1 are unweighted? In report no information about this is found.
Can I get the exact information how the Table 11.1 is constructed?
I need to confirm it for my further analysis.
With regards,
