Dear Trevor,
Thank you very much indeed for the coding, it works now from the code "tab obese [iw=sweight/1000000]" but not from the "tab obese [iw=sweight/1000000] if v012 < 50" (still 35% of females are obese). I don't know why, but at least I know how now.
May I ask two more questions?
1. In the "ZAIR71FL.dta", it already has "v445" for "body mass index", I was wondering why we cannot calculate obese directly in "ZAIR71FL.dta"? or because "ZAIR71FL.dta" does not have the sweight?
2.It seems most biomark information are stored in "ZAPR71FL.DTA". If I want to get the same results (Hypertension, BMI, anemia, or diabetes) as those shown in the SADHS report, do I need to merge the PR file into the Adult Health module data, and then do the analyses with sweight? Could you confirm that tables or figures in SADHS report are weighted? Or I can know it is weighted/unweighted?
Thank you very much.
