Dear Shireen Assaf

Thank you so much for your help, I have been able to match my numbers in STATA with Table 17.1.

I do have another question regarding the blood pressure variables. Is it possible to group the Blood pressure readings into the Classifications- Optimal, Normal, High normal etc. as in Table 17.4.1 of the final report.
I am aware of how to group data from one variable however since these blood pressure classifications involve the range of both systolic and diastolic readings, for examples the Optimal group would require systolic (sh335aa) readings below 120 and diastolic (sh335ab) reading below 80, I am not sure how to go about this in STATA?

Thank you,

Alice
