Fat mass in KG (value calculated using impedance)

Imputation and derivation

Derivation

variable: weight (table[s]: this dataset)
variable: ffmass_I (table[s]: this dataset)
variable: dropped_I (table[s]: this dataset)

gen fatmass_I=weight-ffmass_I if ffmass_I~=. & weight~=.
<remove inconsistent data from combined data:>
foreach var in fatmass_I fatmasspc_I ffmass_I ffmasspc_I {
replace `var'=. if dropped_I==1
}
