Imputation and derivation

Derivation

variable: weigf [first weight result] (table[s]: ncdk_persexam & ncdl_persexam)
variable: weigs [second weight result] (table[s]: ncdk_persexam & ncdl_persexam)
Missing and impossible (<1.1) values removed and an average of the 2 (weigf, weifs) measurements calculated; if only one measurement was taken that is used.
recode weigf 999=.
recode weigs 999=.
replace weigf=weigs if weigf==.
replace weigs=weigf if weigs==.
gen weight=(weigf+weigs)/2
replace weight=. if weight<1.1
