Subject: Assistance Needed with Age Categories and BMI Data in SPSS

Hello,

I am currently working on a project at DHS (2017-2018) in Bangladesh. I need some clarification regarding the age categories for children (B8) because I see many unclear values such as (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11) in the codebook. Specifically, I'd like to know the correct categories as 0-6 months, 7-12, 13-24, or any clear definition for children's ages.

Additionally, I have collected BMI data (z-scores): -490, -207, 77, -3, and 253. How can I define the values? I would appreciate your guidance on how to recode these values into categories such as normal weight, underweight, severe underweight, and overweight.

Thank you for your assistance!

Best regards
