Imputation and derivation

Derivation

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