Hello Shireen,

Thank you so much. I have tried the code and I got the same figures as well.

Now I am trying to clean up the dataset to exclude those that were pregnant and with less than 2 month old birth from my analysis but I am getting 14,867 instead of 12,728.

I used the following code to drop the cases:

//excluding pregnant women and less than 2 months since last birth
drop if (v213==1 | age<2)

summarize bmi

//Dropping outliers
drop if bmi<12.00
drop if bmi>60.00

summarize v438
drop if v438<1300
drop if v438>2200

Please assist me.

Thank you.

Kind regards

Chinwe Uzokwe
